    Emergent Art Space is happy to announce that Advisory Board Member, Ramon Blanco-Barrera,

    Blanco-Barrera is a professor in the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Sevilla in the Department of Drawing. From January to July 2024, he is doing a postdoctoral stay at the College of the Sequoias (COS), in Visalia (California)—one of the very few community colleges to host a Fulbright scholar in the US.

    In addition to teaching and conducting research, he will be working with Richard Lubben, the Dean of Arts and Letters at COS/Visalia, as well as with other colleagues from around the world. Blanco-Barrera will be leading a laboratory-like project drawing on the arts, new technologies, and the human rights fields. He is seeking to make new contributions to the study and practice of positive social transformation.
