SUMMARY:Gallery Talk: "Let Us Gather in a Flourishing Way\," featuring Artist Sarah Zapata with Senior Curator Laura Burkhalter
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a gallery talk in the exhibition “Let Us Gather in a Flourishing Way: Contemporary Latinx Painting\,” featuring artist Sarah Zapata with Art Center Senior Curator Laura Burkhalter. Inspired by a 2008 poem\, “Let Us Gather in a Flourishing Way” celebrates the vision and creativity of Latinx painters. \nPeruvian-American fabric artist Sarah Zapata lives and works in the Red Hook area of Brooklyn\, New York. Zapata’s studio practice is firmly rooted in fiber arts\, utilizing traditional weaving\, coiling\, and latch-hook techniques to achieve contemporary abstracted objects. Inspired by her Peruvian heritage and feminist theory\, Zapata’s body of work address issues of labor\, systems of power and control\, queerness\, cultural relativism\, and the intersectionality of identity. \nFree; no registration required. \nImage: Left – artist Sarah Zapata; Right – One of Zapata’s works on view at the Des Moines Art Center.\nArtwork: Sarah Zapata (Lives and works in Brooklyn\, New York)\nPillar of the Cloud I\, 2025\nPillar of the Cloud II\, 2025\nPillar of the Cloud III\, 2025\nHandwoven cloth\, natural and synthetic fiber\nCourtesy of the artist
