On the next episode of Sweet Tea, we’re thrilled to welcome the brilliant Claudia E. Zapata (they/them) artist, curator, and cultural strategist, whose work reimagines how art and activism intersect across zines, toys, digital media, and community-based archives. From their roots at the Mexic-Arte Museum and Maya art history to curating at the Smithsonian and now serving as the first Associate Curator of Latino Art at the Blanton Museum, Claudia brings sharp insight into how visual culture shapes and uplifts resistance. We’ll talk about the tools today’s queer and trans BIPOC organizers are harnessing for accessible, media-savvy movement work and the journey Zapata has taken through the art world to build this visibility and work. Don’t miss this conversation, it’s a feast of art, history, and liberation. Thursday, 6/26 @ 1 p.m.
