About the Panel
The Critic is Essential: A Latinx Arts Critics Panel
Articles published by the New York Times, Hyperallergic, Forbes, and other publications. show the lack of critics of color in publications that feature reviews of art. What is the role of the critic in the arts ecosystem? Why does an arts community need critics with a shared background? In this panel, practicing critics Reyes Ramirez, Sarah Rafael Garcia, Icess Fernandez Rojas and Yeiry Guevara, will share experiences, ideas, and inspiration navigating critical writing on art forms from various perspectives, such as food, film, visual art, and literary criticism, to highlight Latinx critics as important members of the artistic community. Participants will be able to ask questions, be inspired to meet creatives, and find new collaborations at the NALAC Summit.
