Food Material: Lucia Hierro and Bianca Morán
For the fourth installment of this series, artist Lucia Hierro connected with Active Cultures’ former curator Bianca Morán to talk about the genesis of the series of work in which Lucia reimagines traditional art historical references, from Dutch still lifes to Spanish bodegones. Hierro reinterprets and reinvigorates these forms within the context of diaspora and community, with pointed critiques about access, colonialism, and capitalism. Lucia and Bianca discussed the formative experiences that shape Lucia’s work and the ways that food and meals function as language and symbols of community within her practice.
