The exhibition is the product of the intercultural exchange between artist-educators Lori Santos of WSU and Vladimir Ramos of La Escuela Nacional Superior Autónoma de Bellas Artes del Perú. The two co-taught a summer course in which students used clothing as a catalyst for storytelling.
“From Lima to Wichita” includes works by students in the course alongside paintings that reflect Ramos’ exploration of Wichita and Santos’ experiences in Peru.
