Join us for a final open house marking the close of our spring exhibition <a href="https://www.latinxproject.nyu.edu/ricanvisions" title="https://www.latinxproject.nyu.edu/ricanvisions" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">RicanVisions: Global Ancestralities and Embodied Futures</a>. Light refreshments and sweets will be provided. About the exhibition:<a href="https://www.latinxproject.nyu.edu/ricanvisions" title="https://www.latinxproject.nyu.edu/ricanvisions" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">RicanVisions</a> aims to continue to expand the canon of Diasporican visual art, bridging the past and present of contemporary art from the Puerto Rican diaspora. The exhibition includes emerging artists, some who are showing in New York City for the first time, as well as veteran artists overdue for recognition, such as Marina Gutiérrez and the abstract artist Evelyn López de Guzmán who are showcasing work that has never been exhibited before. Some of the artists were selected through their participation in the annual Artist-in-Residence open call at The Latinx Project. Artists featured in the exhibition are <a href="https://www.instagram.com/698manuelacevedo/" title="https://www.instagram.com/698manuelacevedo/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Manuel Acevedo</a>, <a href="https://armandoalleyne.cargo.site/" title="https://armandoalleyne.cargo.site/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Armando Alleyne</a>, <a href="https://www.naydacollazollorens.com/" title="https://www.naydacollazollorens.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Nayda Collazo-Llorens</a>, <a href="https://vycziedorado.wixsite.com/vycc" title="https://vycziedorado.wixsite.com/vycc" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Vyczie Dorado</a>, <a href="https://www.orlandoestrada.com/" title="https://www.orlandoestrada.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Orlando Estrada</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/2marinagutierrez/?hl=en" title="https://www.instagram.com/2marinagutierrez/?hl=en" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Marina Gutierrez</a>, <a href="https://laundromatproject.org/people/lee-jimenez/" title="https://laundromatproject.org/people/lee-jimenez/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Lee Jiménez</a>, <a href="https://www.juanitalanzo.com/" title="https://www.juanitalanzo.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Juanita Lanzo</a>, <a href="https://www.miguellastra.com/" title="https://www.miguellastra.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Miguel Enrique Lastra</a>, Evelyn López de Guzmán, <a href="https://jacoubreyes.com/" title="https://jacoubreyes.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Jacoub Reyes</a>, <a href="https://davidriosart.com/home.html" title="https://davidriosart.com/home.html" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">David Rios Ferreira</a>, <a href="https://www.sheyrivera.com/" title="https://www.sheyrivera.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Shey ‘Ri Acu’ Rivera Ríos</a>, <a href="https://keysharivera.com/" title="https://keysharivera.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Keysha Rivera</a>, <a href="https://jorgeluisatelier212.com/" title="https://jorgeluisatelier212.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Jorge Luis Rodríguez</a>, <a href="https://www.grosarey.com/about" title="https://www.grosarey.com/about" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">G.

The exhibition is the first curated in-house by The Latinx Project and reflects its largest curatorial effort to date.The artworks underlie two specific concepts in the show: Global Ancestralities and Embodied Futures. Rather than present a historical survey, a number of the artists highlight the rich and varied histories of their communities, drawing on multiple knowledge systems and histories. They explore themes such as migration, identity, and intersectional heritages. Others draw on their personal narratives and memories to address the complexity of Diasporican life or envision alternative worldviews. They examine the crucial roles that the body and the family play in creating these future worlds. Altogether, their innovative and provocative works challenge and expand our understanding of the Puerto Rican experience and the diverse aesthetics and mediums through which contemporary artists are imagining future worlds. They look to the past to reimagine a decolonial future where we all flourish and thrive.
