Nicolás (The Bronx), Anna (Jerez de la Frontera), and Laia (Barcelona) have been communicating since February 2020 between the U.S. and Europe through WhatsApp, making visible some of the aspects of art praxis that do not usually translate as art within the exhibition space: friendship and camaraderie. All three friends share common denominators: they met in Catalonia; have worked with communities; and are interested in art that thrives within the day-to-day. Similarly, they have focused on shaping experiences and situations that defy art as a competitive field, and instead have labored within a context of partnership and familial relationships, where the artistic and the personal mingle and nurture one another. 

On Sunday, January 24, 1 pm, Nicolás, Anna, and Laia will convene online, hosted by Ely Center of Contemporary Art, to discuss how On Art and Friendship has evolved through the current pandemic(s), and to engage those who attend in a conversation on relationships, creativity and the now.
