MATRIX 287 / Berenice Olmedo: To ti ên einai is the first museum exhibition in the United States for artist Berenice Olmedo (b. 1987, Oaxaca, Mexico; lives and works in Mexico City).

Artist Berenice Olmedo converses with BAMPFA Chief Curator Margot Norton, who organized Olmedo's new MATRIX exhibition—her first museum show in the United States.
