LACAP is proud to present the 2012 LATIN AMERICAN SPEAKERS SERIES

The Latin American Speakers Series aims to contextualize Latin American art within Canada as well as enrich our understanding of Latin American art from both the continent and the Diaspora. Through lectures, audio-visual presentations and discussions, the series serves as an opportunity for cultural exchange. This year we bring together a diverse range of artists and local contributors who will reflect on a broad range of aesthetics and perspectives. Internationally renowned Luis Camnitzer, Marcos Ramírez ERRE and Los Carpinteros share and discuss their projects engaging the viewer to reassess the shifting economic, political and social outcomes of our times.

The Latin American Speakers Series is curated by Tamara Toledo and is presented by the Latin American Canadian Art Projects (LACAP).
