Of Rage and Redemption,
curated by Joseph Mella, includes over forty works from his

his final period beginning in the mid 1980s.
This exhibit was organized by the Center for Latin American

presented at the Art Museum of the Americas in collaboration
with the Center for Latin American Studies at Georgetown
University.
A
special symposium,“The Life and Art
of Oswaldo
Guayasamín,” will take place on
