MEL Talks - Raúl Gasque

What happens when art begins not with theory or form, but with feeling? Join us at the Mérida English Library at 7:00 PM on Wednesday February 18 as artist and educator Raúl Gasque explores what he calls Limbic Art — a practice that emerges from the emotional brain, guided by intuition, memory, and sensation. Drawing from his work in performance, abstract expressionism, photography, and text, Raúl maps his journey across continents, disciplines, and inner states — revealing how art can function as both a personal healing tool and a universal language.

Originally from Mérida, Yucatán, Raúl recently returned home after two decades abroad to reconnect with his roots and the rich cultural energy of the region. In this talk, he invites us to let go of rigid frameworks and consider a new approach to art — one that begins with vulnerability, sensation, and emotional truth.

MEL Talks are free and open to the public. See the entire season lineup here.
