Ever wonder about the origins of hot chocolate? Or the tequila in your favorite cocktail? Antonio Soto, Director of Collections at Museo del Objeto del Objeto (MODO) in Mexico City, will explore their historical origins and cultural practices. Carlos Raba, co-owner and chef of Clavel, local taqueria and mezcaleria, and Ellen Hoobler, William B. Ziff Curator of Art of the Americas, will join Antonio in conversation to discuss modern-day approaches to these ancient beverages. Following the lecture and Q&A, we welcome you to enjoy a light reception in the Museum Cafe.

This program is inspired by Latin American Art / Arte Latinoamericano, an installation of works from the museum’s collection of art from South, Central, and North America and the Caribbean. 

This program is one of two lectures that are generously funded each year by the Boshell Foundation.
