Art Says What History Can’t
Panel Discussion | 25 March | 18:00 | Barbican Centre
Join curator Gabriela Salgado, critic and writer Maya Jaggi, and curator Lotte Johnson for a critical conversation led by art historian Daniela Galán, examining the work of Beatriz Gonzalez.
González’s work offers a sharp and unsettling portrait of her country. Drawn from newspapers and popular media, her paintings and objects question how societies consume images, construct memory, and narrate history.
This panel brings together leading curatorial, art historical and journalistic voices to explore how her practice positions art as an active force in shaping collective memory and public consciousness.
The event is organised by the Embassy of Colombia in the UK, in partnership with Amalgama Art and the Barbican Centre.
