This two-day event explores Le\u00f3n Ferrari\u2019s expansive oeuvre, and the fascinations and challenges of working with it. It consists of a workshop at Tate Modern<\/strong> (8 December; 11.00-16.00), and an online symposium<\/strong> (9 December, 14.00-17.00 GMT).<\/p>\n Interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral, this event showcases Ferrari\u2019s multifaceted and critically astute artistic practice. It offers first-hand experience of Ferrari\u2019s works and the opportunity to discuss their impact and relevance in theoretical, curatorial and practical terms. It negotiates key issues in the study of Latin American art and culture; and brings together scholars, museum professionals, curators and conservators. It is generously funded by the Society of Latin American Studies (SLAS).<\/p>\n The workshop at Tate Modern is led by Eve Kalyva<\/strong> (lecturer in Art History, University of Kent). Speakers at the online symposium are Ruth Est\u00e9vez<\/strong> (director of Amant Foundation in Brooklyn, New York and co-curator of the 34th Sao Paolo Biennial), Niall HD Geraghty<\/strong> (Leverhulme Early Career fellow and lecturer in Latin American Cultural Studies, UCL), Andrea Wain<\/strong> (in charge of the research for Ferrari\u2019s catalogue raisonn\u00e9<\/em> and co-curator of the exhibition The Kind Cruelty: Le\u00f3n Ferrari, 100 Years<\/em>, Reina Sof\u00eda, Madrid 2021), Teresa Cos Rebollo<\/strong> (management and exhibitions assistant, Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven) and Gabriela Baldom\u00e1<\/strong> (conservator-restorer at the Augusto and Le\u00f3n Ferrari Art and Collection Foundation, FALFAA).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Programme<\/strong><\/p>\n Part 1.
