episode 45 : carlos barberena
from Hello, Print Friend · host Hello, Print Friend
In this episode Miranda speaks with Carlos Barberena, a self-taught Nicaraguan Printmaker now based in Chicago, where he runs Bandolero Press and La Calaca Press. Barberena grew up in the 1970s during a violent and volatile revolution. At a young age he fled over the border to Costa Rica where he and his brothers sought refugee status while they sold their drawings on the thoroughfares. Today he is well-known for his satirical relief prints which interweave the imagery of pop culture with that of political and cultural tragedies. This interview was recorded in mid-April 2020, right at the height of COVID panic and as well as his story, he also shares some beautiful insights into what we all can be doing now that the world has forced us to slow down.Carlos Barberena's Websitehttp://www.carlosbarberena.com/Carlos Barberena Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/carlosbarberenaShop Talkwww.patreon.com/helloprintfriendYOUTUBEwww.youtube.com/channel/UCOMIT3guY5PjHj1M7GApouwMERCHwww.teepublic.com/user/helloprintfriendWEBSITEwww.helloprintfriend.cominstagramwww.instagram.com/helloprintfriendprint galleryhelloprintfriend.com/print-gallery✨patreon✨www.patreon.com/helloprintfriendOur sponsor Speedballwww.speedballart.com
