Pedro Reyes Artist Talk Kicking off the evening, internationally acclaimed artist and activist Pedro Reyes will deliver a special keynote talk in our auditorium. Reyes, based in Mexico City, is widely known for his large-scale projects that address social and political issues, architecture, performance, and civic life.
