Delving into the extensive legacy of Latin American artists examining the relationship between writing and drawing, Daniela discusses with the artists the nuances of mark-making whilst exploring the gestures and bodily expressions that reveal our connection with language beyond mere communication.

Jane Soliman and I, Daniela Galan, recorded this lively and fascinating conversation with Cecilia in the Basilica Café at the Courtauld Gallery, so please excuse the background noise. Enjoy!
