of Siqueiros' most important murals in Mexico, Argentina, Chile, and
Southern California.

The symposium will include a panel discussion and a visit to the
mural, America Tropical, painted by David Alfaro Siqueiros in 1932,
and recently conserved by the GCI in partnership with the City of
Los Angeles.

Papers will be presented in English and Spanish with simultaneous
