Arlene Dávila: The Latinx Playbook

Episode Summary

I am thrilled to chat with Arlene Dávila, Professor of Anthropology and American Studies at New York University. Her new book Latinx Art: Artists, Markets, and Politics wields her first hand experiences in the art world and leverages her tenured academic voice to bring together conversations that affect Latinx Artists across the country. Latinx poses questions that could be the playbook for what the new paradigm of the Latinx art and other Latinx endeavors, can look like in a post Covid world. Listen in as we talk about the many elephants in the art world, that to our own detriment, we have been trained to politely ignore. It is time to have these conversations, Arlene and her book are opening the forum, join us.
