Talk: Nicholas Herrera in Conversation with Carmella Padilla

Sit down with Nicholas Herrera and award-winning journalist Carmella Padilla for an intimate conversation about Herrera’s life and career.

This is a free event. Open to the public.

As a modern santero, Herrera creates bultos, retablos, and large-scale mixed media works, many of which detail rich and often challenging chapters in his storied life. Through varied mediums, this exhibition surveys Herrera’s personal identity, family history, relationship to place, and political ideology. Still a “village artist,” Herrera continues to reside, regenerate, and create on the land of his family.

Harwood Museum of Art is proud to exhibit the first solo museum exhibition of Nicholas Herrera.
