The artist Fátima Rodrigo (Lima, Peru, 1987) explores the representation of modernism and the structures of power in the Latin American context, present in musical shows. Through installation, textile, sculpture, music and scenography, he analyzes how the languages of the European avant-garde circulated in many countries and were adapted, translated and transformed within the popular culture of Latin America.

In the session, Rodrigo will discuss his work with historian Natalia Majluf and with Ixel Rion, exhibition coordinator at the Museo Tamayo and curator of the exhibition.
