Episode 5: Visual Artist Ronny Quevedo

Ronny Quevedo is a visual artist based in The Bronx. His work offers us a non-traditional approach to the spaces where sports are played while alluding to pre-colonial Latin American symbolism in much of his mark making. Through his work, basketball courts become both celebratory and spiritual, soccer balls are brought into question as a tool of oppression and the audience is called upon to rethink the rules and confines that exist in sports and ultimately, the rest of our culture. Quevedo's work can be seen at http://www.ronnyquevedo.info Seph Rodney's review of Quevedo's piece "no hay media tiempo" can be read in full at https://hyperallergic.com/392117/a-vision-of-us-immigration-beyond-the-melting-pot/ This episode of Dear Adam Silver was edited and produced by Eliseo Casiano.
