Professor Patricio del Real will discuss the exhibition Signal and Strata  in conversation GSD faculty.

Signal and Strata brings together the work of three Peruvian artists—Elena Damiani, Ximena Garrido-Lecca, and Ishmael Randall-Weeks—whose practices examine the complex entanglements of land, history, and extraction through materially rich, architecturally resonant, and often pre-colonial forms. The exhibition marks the first U.S. institutional presentation to bring these artists into direct dialogue, tracing connections across their investigations of geology, capitalism, mythology, and cultural memory.
