Cecilia Fajardo-Hill: Zilia Sánchez's Radical Embodied Abstraction in Context

Watch a replay of Cecilia Fajardo-Hill's public talk from ICA Miami's one-day symposium. Cecilia Fajardo-Hill is an Associate Professor of Museum Studies and Art History and Director of the Northlight Gallery, Arizona State University. The symposium took place in conjunction with the major survey exhibition “Zilia Sánchez: Topologías / Topologies,” which examined the work of Zilia Sánchez (b. 1926, Havana; lives and works in San Juan, Puerto Rico). A singular voice in postwar Latin American modernism and geometric abstraction, Sánchez has continuously experimented across a diverse range of styles and themes for over seven decades. The symposium seeks to broaden perspectives on Sánchez, exploring the various artistic contexts where she has worked in Havana, New York, Madrid, and San Juan. Despite her prolific output, Sánchez’s work has been the subject of relatively few published texts to date, making this symposium an important opportunity to delve deeper into her contributions.
