S11 E03– Thinking through the ‘Venespora’ with Waleska Solorzano (Reporting from LASA 2024)
In Episode 3, we throw it back to our beloved mini series Reporting from LASA 2024, from Season 9. We welcome back Johann Kirchenbauer, a graduate student from the Spanish and Portuguese department, who sits down with fellow PhD candidate, Waleska Solorzano, to talk about her experience in LASA 2024. Specifically, they discuss her ongoing research on what she terms as the “Venespora,” which she uses to think through the Venezuelan diaspora and its subversive artistic genealogy. Finally, Waleska discusses one of her many projects, the Venesporan Artists Project, a digital directory of contemporary Venezuelan artists from all over the world. We hope you enjoy the episode!
