Talk: Roxy Farhat and Gaby Cepeda

As part of the WUH-PSHHH! program Roxy Farhat and Gaby Cepeda will talk around the notion of carving spaces. Spaces that are not given sometimes need to be carved.

She has a BA in Photography from Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León in Monterrey, she studied at Universidad Nacional Tres de Febrero and participated of the 2013 Artists and Curators Program at Universidad Torcuato DiTella in Buenos Aires.
