In this video, James Oscar discusses with Rame Cuen about the mechanisms that ultimately determine how imaginations are formed and how artists and curators can think about new regions and practices that are always present and still act as means of resistance. James Oscar questions Rame Cuen about his artistic practice, his curatorial approach, and his new space La Clinica, a former hospital owned by his family that now functions as an essential site for creation and discourse around contemporary art in Mexico.
