The Aluna Art Foundation is proud to invite you to the live lecture “Unfolding Visions of Contemporary Mayan Art”, presented by Dr. Adriana Herrera in the context of the exhibition Tiempo Circular organized by Tanya Brillembourg Art with the support of the Guatemalan Consulate in Miami.

This PINTA TALK featuring fiber artist Pip Brant, Aurora Molina and Evelyn Politzer is moderated by Adriana Herrera PhD, cofounder of Aluna Art Foundation. They will discuss politically-charged fiber arts and ways of exploring the relationship between gender, history, and fiber ancestral traditions and its connection with contemporary textile art.
