In the Studio: Gala Porras-Kim

Gala Porras-Kim in conversation with Diana Flatto, Assistant Curator, Visual Arts.

Join us live on Instagram from your cell phone, or watch here and on YouTube live or after, for a series of remote visits to artists' studios to bring Americas Society's Visual Arts public programs to your home. Every Wednesday and Friday this month, contemporary artists will dialogue with our Visual Arts department about their work and practice.

About the artist:

Gala Porras-Kim (b. 1984 Bogotá, Colombia) lives and works in Los Angeles. Her practice uses artistic research in the fields of linguistics, history, and conservation, in collaboration with numerous communities and institutions to consider access and representations of the past.
