π€²π»@elmuseo announces πππππππ ππππ: ππ πππππππ πΈπΆ/πΈπ·, the museumβs first national large-scale survey of #Latinx contemporary art featuring more than 40 artists from across the United States and #PuertoRico. Curated by @rodrigoemoura and @svtemkin from El Museo del Barrio and featuring as guest curator, New York-based artist @asahinyc. β£ This first iteration of #LaTrienal borrows its title, πππππππ ππππ, from the work of participating artist @candida_alvarez_studio, a former member of El Museoβs curatorial team in the 1970s and the only artist in the show with a previous exhibition history with the institution. β£ β£ Alvarezβs painting ππ΄π΅π°πΊ ππͺπ¦π― (2017) takes its title from the resilient and obliquely sarcastic response to the aftermath of #HurricaneMaria in Puerto Rico. Now pluralized, the phrase resonates with the present-day moment, as the works in the exhibition address issues of race and identity politics, gentrification and displacement, climate change, as well as the particular effects of the global pandemic to Latinx and other BIPOC populations. β£ β£ This landmark exhibition demonstrates El Museo del Barrioβs commitment to championing the voices, stories and lived experiences of Latinx artists in the United States. We invite audiences to challenge established truths, unpack authentic narratives, and see themselves reflected in the works of art presented.
