Artist Talk with Rodriguez Calero

YouTube Live: Wednesday, October 29, 2025. 6:30pm – 7:30pm 

Join us online on October 29 at 6:30 PM for a discussion with the artist Rodriguez Calero on her first solo show at Taller, yux·ta·po·si·cíon / jux·ta·po·si·tion. The discussion will cover her process methods and the themes addressed in his work.

yux·ta·po·si·cíon / jux·ta·po·si·tion offers a comprehensive look at Calero’s work, placing her practice in conversation with themes such as fashion photography, self-representation, gender fluidity, and art history. However, Calero’s work deeply embeds Caribbean visual culture, urban influences, and diasporic experiences into her compositions.

Born in Puerto Rico and raised mainly in New York City, Rodríguez Calero pursued formal training at San Juan’s renowned Escuela de Artes Plásticas and the Art Students League of New York. A central figure in her artistic formation was Master Artist and Printmaker Lorenzo Homar, whose mentorship extended beyond technical instruction to shaping her disciplined work ethic and conceptual approach to artmaking. Building upon this foundation, Rodríguez Calero developed a distinctive pictorial language that bridges collage, photography, and painting.
