Latin American Forum: Ride or Die: Miguel Luciano in Conversation with Elizabeth Ferrer

This talk between Miguel Luciano and Elizabeth Ferrer introduced recently commissioned projects that question the complicated relationship between Puerto Rico and the United States at the centennial mark of US citizenship for Puerto Ricans (1917–2017). Luciano’s work acts as a powerful commentary on the current economic and political crisis in Puerto Rico and examines its impact on the diaspora.

ABOUT THE LATIN AMERICAN FORUM
The Latin American Forum is a series of public lectures about the arts of the Americas, supported by ISLAA. These talks, interviews, and conversations with artists, curators, and scholars promote the advanced understanding of modern and contemporary Latin American and Caribbean art. As a conversational space for the creation of knowledge, it aims to build bridges that allow the exchange of ideas, resources, and methods within the field. Established by ISLAA and The Institute of Fine Arts in 2011, the Latin American Forum is held regularly at The Institute of Fine Arts, NYU, throughout the academic year in different formats, including panel discussions, conversations, and lectures. It is coordinated by Edward J. Sullivan and organized by graduate students.
