Foundations Lab Art + Science Series: Transformation by Gabriela Galván

Transformation is a concept that Gabriela Galván investigates through her work. Galván is interested in exploring temporality, interdisciplinary processes, sensory experiences, research-based projects, and the use of crossing boundaries between different mediums. Working in deep connection with diverse contexts including the natural world, and with multicultural and multigenerational audiences, Galván is currently focused on exploring time, and developing a body of work in relationship with live flowers and plants.

This is a hybrid talk.
