BUILDING RADICAL SOIL
«Building Radical Soil», exposición organizada por The Latinx Project de la Universidad de Nueva York (NYU) y curada por Sofía Shaula Reeser-del Rio, reúne los trabajos de un grupo de artistas latinxs que analizan temas urgentes como las economías extractivas, el racismo medioambiental y el colonialismo mediante la exploración del conocimiento ancestral, intergeneracional y comunitario.
HILOS
«Hilos» is a response to the way craft is framed within Western institutions displaying Latin American, Indigenous and Caribbean Art.

«De Por Vida» [For Life] brings together thirteen artists whose works portray cycles of life, death and legacy. The exhibition at Company (New York) presents Latinx artists Alina Perez, Bony Ramirez, Diana Sofia Lozano, Felipe Baeza, Frieda Toranzo Jaeger, José De Jesus Rodriguez, Oscar Nñ, Raúl de Nieves, Rose Salane, Ruben Ulises Rodriguez Montoya, Sanchez Kane, Sergio Miguel, and Troy Michie.
