Este episodio de la segunda temporada presenta la conversación entre Felipe Baeza y Susana Vargas acerca de la identidad, el cuerpo, la migración y lo queer.Esta charla se llevó a cabo en el contexto de Sentir un entonces y un allí, la primera exposición individual de Felipe Baeza en kurimanzutto, Ciudad de México en julio de 2025. Felipe Baeza fusiona collage, pintura, grabado y otras técnicas, para crear obras que exploran las nociones del cuerpo y la migración. Representa figuras en pinturas de densas capas, retratándolas en diferentes estados de transformación y, en ocasiones, abstrayéndolas hasta hacerlas invisibles. Sus figuras son híbridas, “fugitivas” y “rebeldes”, y fusionan lo humano y lo no humano para crear imágenes fantásticas que evocan los reinos del mito, el espíritu y la imaginación. Susana Vargas es escritora, profesora y curadora. Es una académica interdisciplinaria, reconocida internacionalmente por su trabajo artístico y académico en las intersecciones de la criminología alternativa, los estudios visuales y los estudios queer, tanto en América del Norte como en América Latina.

She has published several books in Mexico, including Taller de Taquimecanografía, written in conjunction with the eponymous artists' collective she co-founded. She writes about art, and has translated works primarily from Spanish to English. She teaches at Brooklyn College.Daniel Guzmán is a voracious reader and incurable music lover. He digests, absorbs and recombines musical and literary references at his own discretion. His work is marked by an almost autobiographical sincerity. Comics and cartoons, song lyrics, Pre-Hispanic iconography and sensational press clippings –residues of the artist’s daily life in Mexico City and, more recently, in Guadalajara– combine and reconfigure as part of his visual vocabulary. FUTURE DIALOGUES, a series of conversations between artists and creatives organized and hosted by kurimanzutto and supported by Casa Dragones.

A conversation about the Chicano Art movement and queer communities.Our guest, Joey Terrill is an artist from Los Angeles who uses different types of zine-making, performance and painting to create a body of work that tenderly encompasses his intimate experiences which intersect between the queer, Chicano and artistic communities. Roberto Gil de Montes' work can be described as irreverent and serious, purposeful and inconclusive.
