Harmonia Rosales and Ingrid Best Discuss Building Equity Through Art and Business

Artist Harmonia Rosales and collector Ingrid Best shared insights on creating sustainable opportunities for women in cultural and commercial spaces. Rosales, an Afro-Cuban artist from Chicago known for reinterpreting Renaissance and baroque themes with Black figures, and Best, founder of IBEST Wines and an art collector, first connected at Rosales's 2022 exhibition at UTA in Los Angeles. Their collaboration includes Best's collective acquiring Rosales's work 'Strangler Fig: Adam and Eve,' now displayed at the Getty's 'Beginnings' exhibition through April 19, and Rosales becoming the first artist to invest in IBEST Wines. They emphasized the importance of ownership, community support, and reshaping narratives to foster equity beyond representation.
