Join us for a conversation between San Diego-based artist Marianela De La Hoz and Derrick Cartwright, Timken Director of Curatorial Affairs, on the occasion of De La Hoz's artist in residence at the Timken and her exhibition Destejidas (Unwoven) which will be on view at the Museum from June 17 - July 10, 2022. Born in Mexico City, De La Hoz is renowned creative artist who has worked around the globe and utilizes egg tempera to make intensively colored, high detailed paintings that comment on contemporary life. They will discuss De La Hoz's artistic process, and how the work in the exhibition encourages us to consider connections between our daily life and the religious texts, classical myths, and children's fables that have helped construct order from our shared, sometimes dramatic past.

The unfolding situation has heightened the global business community’s critical role in upholding key ESG values such as the rule of law, good governance, and human rights. Subsequently, its response to global Climate Change, Environment Disaster Risk Reduction, and Crisis Management is vital in our shared pursuit of a sustainable future for all. Within this context, this panel discussion on “Catalyzing Private Sector Engagement: Moving the Needle on Sustainability” intends to break down sector silos and demonstrate the important synergies between the private sector ESG goals and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
