Please join us as Gasworks' first ever curators-in-residence, Miguel A. López (Peru) & Fernanda Nogueira (Brazil), discuss their current research interests and recent curatorial projects, followed by an informal Q&A.

Miguel A. López is a Peruvian writer, curator, researcher and artist whose work investigates collaborative dynamics and transformations in the understanding of and engagement with Latin American politics in recent decades. He has been part of the artists run space and collective Espacio La Culpable in Lima, Peru (2006-2008) and has written about deviant practices, gender dissidence, and queer re-articulations of history from a Southern perspective. During 2012-2013 he is invited curator at Triangle Network partner Lugar a Dudas, an independent art space in Santiago de Cali, Colombia.

She is interested in proposals from art and literature addressed to gender dissidence between the 70's and 80’s in Brazil and the connections between the practices of the Brazilian Poem/Process movement and the mail art network which have used different poetic and political tactics to resist military dictatorships in Latin America.
