The 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 have invited renowned artists Coco Fusco, Rosângela Rennó, Teresa Margolles and curator Chus Martínez to present their work and commitment to the development of an aesthetic rich of social content and critical dialogue.

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