Join John and Mary Pappajohn Director Kelly Baum in conversation with artist Firelei Báez, as Báez visits the Des Moines Art Center for the opening celebration of the exhibition “Firelei Báez,” organized by the Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston.
This exhibition is the first North American survey dedicated to the richly layered work of Firelei Báez (b. 1981, Dominican Republic). Over the past 20 years, she has made work that explores the multilayered legacy of colonial histories and the African diaspora in the Caribbean and beyond.
