The art that changed the world. Finally, a place to explore it properly.
Latin American art was never a footnote
Frida Kahlo, Tarsila do Amaral, Wifredo Lam, Beatriz Gonzalez didn't follow European modernism; they rewrote it. Amalgama exists so that the story finally gets told, in English and Spanish, for everyone.

Daniela Galán Lozada
Daniela has spent her career making Latin American art history accessible. From exhibitions and lecture halls at the Barbican, Sotheby's and the Freud Museum to a global online community of over 10,000 learners. Amalgama is built on one conviction: that this art changes people, and that everyone deserves the chance to experience it properly.
"I founded Amalgama because Latin American art kept being treated as a footnote. It was never a footnote."

What learners say
People who came for art history and stayed for something more
"I really liked learning that these artists focused on their own Latin American history to learn while travelling and looking for their own history without focusing purely on the European art scene. Most of all, I learned that there is a lot to learn from our Latin American history."
Sofia clausse
Daniela, thank you so much for the conversation at the Barbican. It was powerful to hear how that critical edge coexists with a practice so deeply rooted in the everyday and the popular. It makes the strength and relevance of her work even clearer.
Zary Feeney
"I found it fascinating to explore the social significance of Brazilian modernism in its historical context, from a perspective I'd never encountered before. Very interesting how it is born from the critique of European, 'modern' rationality, something that I am used to entering from perspectives of critical social theories and the politics of knowledge, but never from art. Super interesting!

Frequently asked questions
Is this for me if I'm not an art historian?
Completely. Amalgama is built for curious people, not academics. Every course starts from the beginning; no prior knowledge needed. If you've ever stood in front of a painting and wanted to understand more, this is for you.
Why Latin American art specifically?
Because it's been missing from most art history education for too long. Latin American artists were central to surrealism, modernism, and geometric abstraction, but rarely credited. Amalgama corrects that.
How is a subscription different from YouTube?
Depth, structure, and curation. Our courses are built by art historians, follow a clear progression, and connect individual artists to the movements and history that shaped them. You don't just see the art, you understand it.
How do the online courses and London experiences connect?
The courses build your knowledge. The experiences let you use it. Members also get priority access and £40 off every London experience, so the more you learn, the richer the in-person visit becomes.
