Artist Conversation with Justin Favela

Multimedia artist Justin Favel discusses his creative process and the influences that shape his artwork, including the site-specific installation “Capilla de Maíz (Maize Chapel)” at the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s Renwick Gallery. In this lively conversation, Favela describes how he blends the visual imagery of his hometown of Las Vegas with his Mexican and Guatemalan heritage to create vibrant, compelling, and oftentimes humorous installations. “Capilla de Maíz” transforms the Renwick Gallery’s Grand Salon into a fantastical world, with shimmering gold-fringed walls and 30-foot piñata corncobs that highlight the role of maize in North American visual culture. Favela is joined in conversation by Mary Savig, the Fleur and Charles Bresler Curator-in-Charge for the Renwick Gallery. This program was part of the SAAM’s annual Director’s Circle Dinner in 2025.
