Pertenencia delves into the intricate and multi-faceted concept of belonging as expressed through the diverse voices of Latin and Hispanic artists. This exhibition presents a curated selection of works across various mediums that explore themes of identity, home, community, and the search for connection within and across cultures.
The featured artists navigate the complexities of belonging in a world where geographic, cultural, and personal boundaries are constantly shifting. These works explore both the profound joy and the challenging struggles that accompany the pursuit of a true sense of belonging.
The artists in Pertenencia invite viewers to reflect on:
Defining Home and Identity: How do individuals and communities construct a sense of home and self in a dynamic and often contradictory society?
Navigating Cultural Landscapes: What are the experiences of navigating multiple cultural identities and finding belonging within different spaces?
Celebrating Community and Connection: How do artists visualize and celebrate the power of community in fostering a sense of belonging?
Ultimately, Pertenencia aims to ignite dialogue and foster a deeper understanding of the diverse experiences of Latin and Hispanic communities. The exhibition offers a unique opportunity to engage with powerful narratives about belonging, fostering empathy and connection within our shared human experience.
