Banana Craze Artist & Curator Talk
Channel: Center for Visual Art MSU Denver
Date: 2022-10-31

CVA welcomed curators Juanita Solano Roa and Blanca Serrano Ortiz de Solórzano and artists María José Argenzio and Rachelle Mozman Solano to speak about the artwork and themes presented in the exhibition.

As the fourth most important food crop in the world, the banana dominates food production in Latin America where they are grown on large mono-crop plantations mostly run by three multi-national corporations. The artists in Banana Craze reflect on the dramatic footprint that the banana industry has left in both the natural and social ecosystems of banana producing nations since the beginning of the 20th Century until today.
