Join three Anderson Ranch faculty members for a lively conversation exploring how diverse cultural perspectives shape artistic practice and community. Artists Jean Shin (2026 Creative Capital Awardee) (Seoul, South Korea), Juana Estrada Hernández (Mexico), and Yana Payusova (Leningrad, USSR) bring their experiences as instructors in higher education in the US to a discussion centered on identity, materiality, heritage, and belonging.

Their work is rooted in community, collective identity, and culturally resonant materials, showing the connection between how their reflections on personal histories, social and ecological issues, and hands-on processes inform their practices. Together, they consider how these perspectives contribute to a more inclusive and dynamic environment for art-making and learning.
