#latinx art

Hello, summer We’re thrilled to be debuting two new exhibitions this month. David Wojnarowicz: History Keeps Me Awake at Night brings together the artist’s diverse body of work, which spans collage, photography, painting, writing, and activism. Pacha, Llaqta, Wasichay: Indigenous Space, Modern Architecture, New Art features the work of seven emerging and established Latinx artists based in the United States and Puerto Rico. Both exhibitions open to the public on Friday, July 13!

Coming soon! Pacha, Llaqta, Wasichay: Indigenous Space, Modern Architecture, New Art investigates contemporary art practices that preserve and foreground Indigenous American notions of the built environment and natural world. The three words in the exhibition’s title are Quechua, the Indigenous language most spoken in the Americas. Each holds more than one meaning: pacha denotes universe, time, space, nature, or world; llaqta signifies place, country, community, or town; and wasichay means to build or to construct a house.
