In this Talk
Maria De Victoria

Maria De Victoria is a filmmaker and performance artist and co-founded Artists & Mothers in 2024 with Julia Trotta. She was born in 1980 in Lima, Peru, and immigrated to Miami in the early ’90s. Her work, which critiques politics and comments on the marginalized, primarily revolves around her own experiences of immigration, migration, and cultural differences. Through this personal lens and using conceptual projects and performances that often directly involve the audience, she addresses larger themes of migration, labor, and the conditions of contemporary art. She currently lives and works in New York City.
Julia Trotta

Julia Trotta is an art consultant based in New York who has worked closely with artists, galleries, non-profits and collectors for over 15 years. She has curated a number of exhibitions, both in the United States and abroad, and in 2024 co-founded Artists & Mothers, a non-profit providing childcare grants to artists.
Amanda Gluibizzi

Amanda Gluibizzi is the founding Co-Director of the New Foundation for Art History (NFAH) and Artseen Editor for the Brooklyn Rail. She specializes in mid- and late-20th century art, design, and urbanism in the United States, Europe, and Latin America. Amanda is the author of Art and Design in 1960s New York (Anthem Press, 2021).
The Rail has a tradition of ending our conversations with a poetry reading, and we're fortunate to have Dorothea Lasky reading.
Dorothea Lasky

Dorothea Lasky is the author of several books of poetry and prose, including The Shining (Wave Books, 2023) and the forthcoming MEMORY (Semiotext(e)).
We’d like to thank The Marion Boulton Kippy Stroud Foundation and Teiger Foundation for making these conversations possible, and for their support of our growing archive 🌈✨
