Behind the Scenes: The Making of Vida Americana

Online, via Zoom

Vida Americana: Mexican Muralists Remake American Art, 1925–1945 tells the epic story of the cultural dialogue that brought together artists from Mexico and the United States around the ideal that art can and should speak to pressing questions of national life and social justice. Organizing and installing the exhibition, in turn, required extraordinary coordination and careful planning.
