By showing this richness, this dynamism, this variety of languages, I think we’re getting closer to what is actually happening outside the steps of the museum.“—Whitney curator Marcela Guerrero on the newly opened exhibition Pacha, Llaqta, Wasichay: Indigenous Space, Modern Architecture, New Art.

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.
