Hi everyone, and happy second week of the semester! Lunes de Revoluci\u00f3n<\/em> (Monday of Revolution), was a weekly literary supplement of the Cuban newspaper Revoluci\u00f3n<\/em>, published from 1959 to 1961. This title inspires me to think that every Monday, just like today, can be revolutionary. And, as a second-year PhD student from the Department of History of Art and Architecture at Pitt,\u00a0 I look at publications such as this one to search for the unexplored artistic connections between Latin America and East Asia during the early Cold War.<\/p>\n

I was born and raised in Mexico. I got a BA in (European) Humanities and an MA in Contemporary Art History while I lived in Spain. Back in 2011, I applied to a PhD program in Spain to study the aesthetics of Catalonian writer Eugenio d\u2019Ors, but I didn\u2019t get in. Instead, I moved to Hangzhou, near Shanghai, where I began to research the subject on which I now work, much less boring than my first topic. I got an MA from the China Academy of Art, in which I documented the visit of 9 Mexican artists to China during the 1950s and a large-scale exhibition of Mexican art that toured in China during 1956.<\/p>\n

From my experience, I think discoveries can happen if you don’t cling to a concrete trajectory and accept a certain degree of uncertainty and of feeling lost and ignorant. This is how I feel right now regarding digital humanities and digital methods. Let\u2019s see what happens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
