Kemper Art Musem Talk
On Nov 5, 2026 I will give a talk titled “A Modern Buenos Aires: Architecture and Photomontage Under Peronism” at the WashU Kemper Art Museum, in the context of the exhibition Buenos Aires Modern, 1935–1950. Following the talk I will be in conversation with Eric Mumford (Rebecca and John Voyles Professor of Architecture at the Sam Fox School of Design and Visual Arts). I’m looking forward to visiting the exhibition and to the conversation very much!
