"My work is deeply rooted in the passing of memory through stories. The civil war in El Salvador has had a huge impact on my imagination, so a lot of my work deals with that time period, historically linked with feelings of loss and cultural memories of violence" – Osvaldo Ramirez Castillo
Join us for a special exhibition tour of Osvaldo Ramirez Castillo's mad soldiers.From Pre-Columbian mythologies to El Salvador's Civil War, Harriet Edwards from the University of Lethbridge History Department will provide historical context for mad soldiers and curator Ryan Doherty will speak to some of the artistic influences that have helped shape Osvaldo's work.
