ABOUT THIS EPISODE
We begin our series of episodes about Latinx artists with Paloma Ponce and Jessica Alazraki. Jessica is a Mexican-born, New York-based painter, and Paloma is a chef from Mérida, Mexico. We thought it would be fun to introduce these two artists and discuss common aspects and inspiration relating to their backgrounds.
Both share a similar cultural heritage, drawing meaning from the warm atmosphere of the Mexican home. Gathering around the dinner table is a frequent ritual in Jessica’s paintings, a unifying element to her characters, and a theme Paloma relates to her own upbringing, which led her to become a chef.
Music in the episode is performed by Fernando Troche. The song is Torre Bermeja by Isaac Albéniz.
