Collecting & Connecting: Artist Talk with Paola de la Calle
Join us for a virtual artist talk with Colombian-American artist Paola de la Calle! Simmons University and the Trustman Gallery are excited to have acquired Paola’s unique textile, Untitled (Nostalgia), through “Collecting & Connecting,” a student-led program designed to diversify the Simmons University Art Collection. Untitled (Nostalgia) uses carefully placed objects and embroidered phrases, including “IMMIGRANT RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS,” that are central to Paola’s identity and lived experiences. Through prints, textiles and collage, Paola explores topics ranging from home and border to identity and nostalgia. Hear from Paola about our newly acquired piece, as well her work and experience as an artist, followed by an open Q&A. We hope to see you there!
