The Museo de Arte Contempráneo de Puerto Rico presents part two of the exhibition: 𝘈𝘯𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘋𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘋𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘳𝘦: 𝘎𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘪𝘯 𝘗𝘶𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘰 𝘙𝘪𝘤𝘰 (Anarquía y dialéctica en el deseo: géneros y marginalidad en Puerto Rico, Part 2) on view now through February 28, 2021. This exhibition transcends the approach of exhibiting "art made by women" to give way to the study and recognition of the material, historical, political and subjective reality of the body as a self-conscious space; one that recognizes 'Desire' as the impulse and catalyst for artistic production, and 'Art' as an exercise of resistance and re-existence. Being an artist in a country rife with colonial history as Puerto Rico implies inhabiting a space of political, social or economic marginality. Moreover, being a woman, or inhabiting a feminized or racialized body, AND being an artist on the island thus involves intersections that widen the layers of marginality, which requires further contextualization. Join MAC for a virtual conversation led by Raquel Torres Arzola (artist, educational coordinator, and guest curator) on Wednesday, 12/16, at 6PM EST. To register, visit the link in our bio!
