Hey there, it’s Sharon and welcome back to Come Along. For today’s show, I sat down with Alejandra Sánchez Mack, chief curator of the art exhibit, Our Second Home. The exhibit took place at the first floor gallery at Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall in September of 2023. Go follow @oursecondhome.taiwan on Instagram to learn more!
It showcased artworks from 15 artists from Guatemala, Belize, Mexico, Paraguay, and Taiwan. The exhibit is organized by the Embassy of Guatemala in Taiwan, Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Central America Trade Office. Go check out a previous episode on Our Second Home where I interviewed artists from the exhibit.
What brought Alejandra to Taiwan from Guatemala? What informs her curatorial work? What’s the Latin American art scene like in Taiwan now? How could art connect people from different cultures? Hit play and join our chat.
