Not sure about this one – does anyone know how long these conversation events usually go? I have to pick up my kid at 6

Been following Betsabeé's career for years. This is a must-see for anyone interested in contemporary Chicana art

Does anyone know if they'll have books for sale? Looking to grab one if Roxana is there signing
