Anastomosis Art Residency and @sparrow.artspace are excited to have Nurgül Rodríguez with us this Saturday June 18th at 2 PM!

We invite you to join us in a candid conversation about Nurgül Rodríguez’s research, the power of language, identity and how we can approach our own work through a decolonized perspective.

This is a free event - Feel free to bring your friends and family to engage in this wonderful opportunity of sharing, learning and growth!
