This Monday, June 1, MEL welcomes the third session of Raúl’s acclaimed series Modern Art and Political History in Mexico.
Upcoming sessions include:

June 1 – Ellas
Featuring María Izquierdo and the great Frida Kahlo, this lecture explores representation, identity, pain, and resistance through the work of two of Mexico’s most influential women artists.
June 8 – Transgressions on the Re-evolution
The series concludes with Rufino Tamayo, Luis Buñuel, and Vlady Kibalchich, examining the rupture with nationalist narratives and the emergence of more experimental and critical artistic perspectives.

Participants may register for a single class for 950 MXN or take advantage of the special price of the two remaining sessions for 1,800 MXN.

This is a remarkable series for anyone interested in Mexican art, history, politics, and cultural identity. We hope you will join us.
