Join us for a conversation between Getty Artist in Residence Felipe Baeza and Professor Laura Gutiérrez. While at the Getty Research Institute, Baeza and Gutiérrez discovered a shared migration story, both having come from Mexico, growing up in Chicago, and then leaving again to pursue their dreams. Their discussion will explore the ways that their immigration experiences shaped their creative and scholarly processes, imagination as a mode of survival, and the concept of embodiment in performance and figurative art making.
Following the conversation, attendees are invited to a reception with the speakers.
