The Front's director Francisco Eme sits down with Marianela de la Hoz, a contemporary artist and painter working primarily with egg tempura paint. She tells us about her journey as an artist and what inspires her work.

Yinna Aldama tells about the tribulations of being indigenous, and the roles that indigeneity has on identity.
