Episode 29: Mariana Alzamora

In this episode, Tara speaks to the multi-talented Deia artist, who comes from a long line of Deia connected and global artists, Mariana Alzamora. In their talk, Mariana tells about her intellectual Peruvian/American upbringing, with parents who made beauty, art and knowledge the centerpiece of home life. We learn about the overriding political conflicts of the day, and how it all influenced the life of her family, and her determination to make art despite politics. Mariana has a delightful way of weaving talk of her work into the story of her life, reminding us of the interplay between art and life.
