In partnership with MAKE + Lit & Luz Festival,  join artist Alejandro Almanza Pereda for a lecture on his practice.

Owing to the very distinct environments of living in Mexico and the United States, Almanza Pereda’s works across sculpture, installation, and photography are invested in the idea of perceived danger and risk. He utilizes domestic objects to create still lifes that respond to everyday life’s fragility, weight, and gravity.
