Heyd and Erin dig into this Romeo and Juliet style love story with artist/healer Edgar Fabián Frías, who engages with historical legacies while operating outside of the traditional structures of the art work. Since their youth, Edgar has felt connected to the two protagonists, Lily and Felice, who embody characteristics such as resilience, underground activism and gender fluidity, which play directly into Edgar's artwork. We hope you enjoy this dynamic conversation as we weave in and out of the past and present, questioning the status quo whilst trying not making it a "trembling contest". Tangents include: femme-phobia, Ukraine, Easter, The Celluloid Closet, The Power of the Dog, fetus food cravings, inherited trauma For more information about Edgars's studio practice, check out their website www.edgarfabianfrias.org and Instagram @edgarfabianfrias Panel Discussion: Art, Data and Life in the Metaverse, 12:30 - 2:00 PM, BAMPFA, Osher Theater, UC Berkeley Follow us on Instagram @artists.talk.movies
