Building Legacies in Public and in Practice

In partnership with National Museum of Mexican Art

Estrada will be joined by Cesareo Moreno, Chief Curator of the National Museum of Mexican Art (NMMA), for a conversation that explores parallels between the practices of Estrada and the late artist and activist Carlos Cortez. The conversation will highlight the influence of Cortez onto generations of Mexican-American artists in Chicago and focus on shared values and methodologies present in the two artists’ practices that intend to uplift community voices.  This program is a collaboration between Hyde Park Art Center and the NMMA on the occasion of the exhibitionWilliam Estrada: Multiples and Multitudes and the centennial commemoration of Carlos Cortéz's legacy.
