- Mexican artist Pia Camil joins Pablo León de la Barra, Curator at Large, Latin America, in conversation to discuss the trajectory of her career and artistic practice. For years, Camil has produced work that challenges and interrogates structures of commerce and globalization, relying on exchanges with the public to source materials for large-scale textile works. She appears at the Guggenheim Museum in New York to celebrate the communal activation of her work "Here Comes the Sun," developed for the museum’s iconic rotunda. Created from close to 200 T-shirts donated by residents of Corona, Queens, and East Harlem, the piece directly involves Latinx communities in New York City and spreads a positive message of inclusivity.
Supported by the Guggenheim Museum’s Latin American Circle.
