X Factor: Latinx Artists and the Reconquest of the Everyday Artists Conversation + Opening Reception

Artists Conversation
6pm, USF Theatre 2

Opening Reception
7-9pm, USF Contemporary Art Museum

Join us for a conversation with artists from X Factor including Gabino A. Castelán, Danielle De Jesús, Lucía Hierro, Yiyo Tirado-Rivera, and Rodrigo Valenzuela. Talk is moderated by Christian Viveros-Fauné, CAM Curator at Large.

An opening reception will follow the conversation next door at USFCAM until 9pm.

X Factor: Latinx Artists and the Reconquest of the Everyday locates, through the work of more than a dozen historical and contemporary artists, dynamic entry points into the discussion and expansion of the term Latinx. The exhibition grounds a series of redefinitions of “Latinity” in the everyday lives of its creators, especially where artworks and creative processes reconquer novel meanings from hackneyed and conventional ideas of ethnicity, race, class, politics, representation, and the history of US migration.

X Factor is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.
