Join us on Wednesday, January 22nd, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM at BmoreArt Connect+Collect for an evening exploring the creative process and cultural narratives through the lens of interdisciplinary artist René Treviño and curator Ellen Hoobler. The event begins with a special screening of a 20-minute documentary that offers an intimate look at Treviño’s artistic journey in creating work for his recent exhibition, stab of guilt, at the Wellin Museum of Art. The film highlights Treviño’s meticulous process and his exploration of identity, mythology, and historical reinterpretation.

Following the film, Treviño and Hoobler will engage in a dynamic conversation exploring his practice, which reimagines traditional narratives of race, sexuality, and heritage. Ellen Hoobler, the William B. Ziff, Jr., Curator of Art of the Americas at the Walters Art Museum, will offer a curatorial perspective, drawing on her work for the museum’s new landmark permanent installation. This Walter exhibition features over 200 works spanning 40 cultures and more than four millennia, presenting a richly layered exploration of ancient and contemporary art from Latin America/Latinoamerica.

Together, they will examine themes of shared humanity and the resonance between historical and modern art practices, offering new ways to think about the connections between the past and present.
