The Global Studies Seminar presents a talk titled “Artist residency in Kavala, Greece during the pandemic” by Micaela Vivero, associate professor of Studio Arts and Latin & Caribbean Studies.
I’m debating between presenting on my artist residency in Kavala, Greece during the summer of 2021 which would focus on having an artist residency during the pandemic, or presenting on my body of work “Oro no es/ Gold, is it not?” which will be presented as a solo exhibition in Gallery 310 at Marietta 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 in Ohio which addresses Spanish colonization of South America, the significance of gold mining in that time and the relevance of gold today. There are some overlaps, and I think that it depends if I want to focus more on the process or the finished work.
