The institution's press release follows: 

Comunidades Visibles (Visible Communities): The Materiality of Migration brings together artworks by first- or second-generation immigrant Latinx artists. In their creative practices, these artists celebrate their communities and interrogate the materials and stories that form their foundations. Each combines materials and techniques from their country of origin, from other colonized places, or from their present context with everyday or art historical references. The resulting hybrid practices correspond with the artists’ hybrid identities. Collectively, these objects and installations invite us to question our relationships to our own histories, evaluate the communities to which we belong, and see with new appreciation the value that erased or marginalized groups contribute to our daily lives. By turning personal history into palpable presence, the selected artists transform difficult narratives into celebratory and beautiful objects that convey urgent and consequential narratives about historical and contemporary immigration.  

This exhibition is organized by Curatorial Assistant Andrea Alvarez.

Comunidades Visibles: The Materiality of Migration (La Materialidad de Migración) reúne obras hechas por artistas Latinx que son inmigrantes de primera o segunda generación. En sus prácticas creativas, los artistas celebran sus comunidades e investigan los materiales y las historias que forman su base. Cada artista combina materiales y técnicas de su país de origen, otros lugares colonizados, o de su contexto presente, con referencias cotidianas e historiográficas. Las prácticas híbridas resultantes son correspondientes con las identidades híbridas de los artistas. En conjunto, las obras e instalaciones nos invitan a cuestionar nuestra relacion con nuestras historias, evaluar las comunidades a las cuáles pertenecemos, y ver con nueva apreciación el valor que grupos marginalizados o invisibles contribuyen a nuestras vidas. Convirtiendo su historia personal en un presente urgente, los artistas transforman narrativas difíciles en objetos bellos y celebratorios que transmiten narrativas importantes y urgentes sobre la migración histórica y contemporánea.  
 
Esta exhibición es organizada por Curatorial Assistant Andrea Alvarez.
