Join us for a talk by Renzo Ortega, whose work is on view within Art of Peru. This gallery features ceramics, textiles, metalwork and carvings produced by ancient cultures across what is known as present-day Peru. A two-paneled painting by Renzo, who was born in Lima, Peru, depicts corn as a symbol for the native identity of the Americas and the Indigenous knowledge that led to its cultivation.
