We Continue our series about the 2019 Binational Journey for artists of Mexican ancestry based in the United States by The Mexican Government organization IME (Institute for Mexicans in the Exterior) where they invited 43 artists representing 36 states in the U.S.
Music is an enormous part of human expression, and a crucial part of children's development. Astrid Morales, classical Pianist and participant in the Binational conference spends the hour telling us about her artistic expression which incorporates not only classical music, but a reimagining and merging of genres and practices of classical music, but also to stress the importance of helping youth gain an appreciation for music to maintain this important art alive. We chat about her experiences in the U.S. as a Latino artist. We also discuss the challenges of making a life as an artist in a post-COVID quarantine, and navigating the "new normal" in this climate.
Astrid was selected among 43 others and attended a conference in Mexico City where they all met with government officials and had a chance to sample some of the amazing artwork and history that Mexico City offers, including over 150 museums, historical sites, and much more.
