Join us as we chat with Maraya G Lopez—the multi-talented artist and activist known as "BerdsCarnival." From the vibrant art scene of Brooklyn's Pratt Institute to the historic halls of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Maraya's journey is one of community, creativity, and a little bit of Coney Island magic. We'll explore the challenges and triumphs of being a professional artist today, what it was like to exhibit her work at The Met while being an employee, and how she uses art as a powerful tool for social change. Tune in to hear her incredible story and her take on the future of the art world.
