In the afternoon we took a bus to the artistic Barranco neighborhood, home to famous Peruvian artist Victor Delfin.  Delphin has created sculptures and paintings that have been exhibited in many collections outside of Peru.  The sculptures are created with a wide range of materials.

The artist talked with the students about his personal history, artistic work, the creative process, and his political activism against the Fujimori dictatorship in the 1990s.
