Miami Beach, FL – December 7, 2014 – At the St. Regis Bal Harbour, guests enjoyed an unscripted conversation between Pablo León de la Barra, the UBS Map Curator of Latin American Art at the Guggenheim Museum in New York and Tania Bruguera, Cuba’s most renowned contemporary installation and performance artist. Having worked together this year as part of the exhibition, “Under The Same Sun: Latin America Art Today” at the Guggenheim Museum, León de la Barra and Bruguera’s conversation surrounded her work The Francis Effect, a performance piece where they collected signatures on postcards addressed to Pope Francis that endorse his supportive stance toward immigrants.
