The National Portrait Gallery’s triennial Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition celebrates excellence in the art of portraiture. Every three years, artists living and working in the United States are invited by the museum to submit one of their recent portraits to a panel of experts. The selected artworks reflect the compelling and diverse approaches contemporary artists are using to convey their personal and collective stories through portraiture. Mar Figueroa is one of 35 artists selected out of 3,300 submissions.

This artist talk is presented in conjunction with the Portrait Gallery's June Analog Nights program, which features a clay amulet-making activity inspired by Figueroa's artistic practice.
