Eat, Drink & Think Like … Diego Rivera
Leah Dickerman and Roberto Santibañez
Sorry!
No performances are currently available.
In 1932, Mexican muralist Diego Rivera was the subject of MoMA’s second single-artist exhibition, which set new attendance records during its five-week run.
Current MoMA curator Leah Dickerman tells the astounding story of the artist’s focus on New York subjects through monumental images of the urban working class and the social stratification of the city during the Great Depression, a period during which he also produced the famous Rockefeller Center mural. Hear how Rivera moved between Russia, Mexico and the United States, embodying the intersection of art and radical politics in the 1930s. Then, take a fresh look at the food of Mexico with award-winning chef Roberto Santibañez. Finally, enjoy a taste of traditional Mexican cuisine—in food and drink—as Diego Rivera would have.
