The Institute for Studies on Latin
American Art (ISLAA) supports the study
and visibility of Latin American art.
Explore a pivotal period in the life of Luis Fernando Benedit as he experimented with themes of ecology and systems of control in the context of the vibrant avant-gardes and harsh sociopolitical changes in Argentina.
By the time Mariette Lydis arrived in Buenos Aires in 1940, she had already visited large parts of the globe, played an outstanding role in Paris, and lived a life worthy of a novel.
The program enables professional development and resource-sharing for art history graduate students at the University of Maryland, Temple University, and the University of Pittsburgh.
The exhibition marks the first time the Venezuelan documentary Trans is shown in New York City.
