🤲🏻@elmuseo announces 𝘌𝘚𝘛𝘈𝘔𝘖𝘚 𝘉𝘐𝘌𝘕: 𝘓𝘈 𝘛𝘙𝘐𝘌𝘕𝘈𝘓 𝟸𝟶/𝟸𝟷, the museum’s first national large-scale survey of #Latinx contemporary art featuring more than 40 artists from across the United States and #PuertoRico. Curated by @rodrigoemoura and @svtemkin from El Museo del Barrio and featuring as guest curator, New York-based artist @asahinyc. ⁣ This first iteration of #LaTrienal borrows its title, 𝘌𝘚𝘛𝘈𝘔𝘖𝘚 𝘉𝘐𝘌𝘕, from the work of participating artist @candida_alvarez_studio, a former member of El Museo’s curatorial team in the 1970s and the only artist in the show with a previous exhibition history with the institution. ⁣ ⁣ Alvarez’s painting 𝘌𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘺 𝘉𝘪𝘦𝘯 (2017) takes its title from the resilient and obliquely sarcastic response to the aftermath of #HurricaneMaria in Puerto Rico. Now pluralized, the phrase resonates with the present-day moment, as the works in the exhibition address issues of race and identity politics, gentrification and displacement, climate change, as well as the particular effects of the global pandemic to Latinx and other BIPOC populations. ⁣ ⁣ This landmark exhibition demonstrates El Museo del Barrio’s commitment to championing the voices, stories and lived experiences of Latinx artists in the United States. We invite audiences to challenge established truths, unpack authentic narratives, and see themselves reflected in the works of art presented.

Oh what a night! Still filled with joy and excitment about last week’s book launch. So many wonderful things said about the project and about each other and how basically we really all need to hold each other down, especially in the times we are living. Thank you so much to the incredible artists who read their quotes with such sincerity and feeling, Shaun Leonardo, Nicole Awai, Michael Paul Britto, Lorraine O'Grady, Dread Scott and Brandi Summers. To my dear friend Wanda Raimundi-Ortiz Klotz aka tenured Chuleta for MCing the evening. To Desiree Gordon, Nico Wheadon and The Studio Museum in Harlem for organizing and hosting such an incredible event. To Hirmer Verlag for believing in this project. To Sara Reisman and The Shelley & Donald Rubin Foundation for having faith and supporting me and this project for the past four years. To all the artists who allowed me into their world to photograph them. To the contributors to the book, Maurice Berger, Brandi Summers and Rocio Aranda and to all those who attended the launch and to those who sent such beautiful well wishes #loveisthemessage By the way Lorraine gets her own post as she took us to church yet again.

Excited for the book launch this week! It’s going to be a great evening! “Join us at Studio Museum 127 to celebrate the publication of 1998–99 artist in residence Elia Alba’s new book The Supper Club. The evening will include an interactive “menu” of events including vignette-style readings by artists Dread Scott, Lorraine O’Grady, Michael Paul Britto, Nicole Awai, and Shaun Leonardo, and a special performance by artist Wanda Raimundi-Ortiz as “Chuleta.” Alba will close out the program with remarks alongside contributor Brandi T. Summers and editor Sara Reisman. Featuring critical conversations and contributions on race and visual culture, as well as fifty-eight portraits of artists of color, The Supper Club documents Elia Alba’s six-year multifaceted project addressing issues ranging from sanctuary, policing, and post-black identity to the intersectional entanglements of gender, race, and privilege. Copies of The Supper Club will be available for purchase following the program.” Hope to see you there!! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤❤️🧡💛💚#supperclubartists #bookphotography #race #eliaalba #photography #artandfood #socialjustice #community #intersectionality #loveisthemessage (at Studio Museum 127) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxGsra0FPOX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fhvfs91zwx2b
