Artist in Residence Artist Talk: Daniela Leal

Presented in partnership with Mujer Artista and Art Klub (New Orleans)

Daniela Leal’s photo-based portraits suggest that our ability to love and be loved is informed by our perceptions of the many relationships we hold, and that these perceptions define how we move through space and time. While in Winnipeg, she will be exploring a more deliberate cinematic style of shooting. She will research, plan and develop a project focussing on Latin stereotypes in cinema, creating a visual spectrum by recreating character descriptions from auditions. Leal is an independent artist who also works in film, based in New Orleans. She comes to MAWA through a residency exchange with Art Klub.
