LATINXAMERICAN
“El objetivo es cambiar la historia del arte, para asegurarnos de que los artistas latinxs en EEUU estén adecuadamente representados en nuestra colección y exposiciones. Queremos expandir no solo la representación, sino la participación, de manera que todos se sientan empoderados”
Cross Currents/intercambio Cultural
“The story of Cross Currents in many ways reflects recent changes to the social and political landscapes in the United States and Cuba. When it was first proposed in 2016 by the National Museum of Mexican Art, the exchange embodied a moment of excitement and renewed openness. Relations have since chilled: the US Embassy in Cuba has closed, a new administration in Washington is intent on hardening borders, and in Cuba, Decreto 349 subjects artists to new forms of censorship and governmental regulation. The original mandate of opening artistic dialogue remains essential, now more than ever.”
