Suzi Ferrer, Pop artist and Cornell BFA 1962, had a brief but prolific art career while living in Puerto Rico in the 1960s and ’70s. Creating political, feminist, religious, and anti-militarist art, she spoke clearly to the social and cultural moment in which she lived and made art.
After decades of obscurity, Ferrer’s work has been brought back to public consciousness by art historian Melissa M. Ramos Borges and Ferrer’s son, Miguel Ferrer Nudelman. At this talk, the pair discussed their original research and invaluable perspectives in conjunction with the
exhibition at the Johnson Museum.
