"Border Alchemy: Healing Through Ancestral Artistic Practice"

Natalia Ventura is a multimedia artist and organizer who lives and works in San Diego (Kumeyaay land). Natalia is a memory worker and dream worker, engaging in the radical act of remembering what once was to move intentionally towards what is yet to come. She leads an inner studio practice that explores her personal experiences as a Mexican-Cuban-American woman, and an outer social practice that engages her community in collective healing of the borderlands. She aims to build a liberated future within and around her through her creative practice. 

This event is part of the Lennox Lecture Series on the topic of Borders and Belonging: The Arts and Archives of Place, organized by Professors Jenny Browne and Kathryn Vomero Santos.
