Thank you Newcity Art! 😀
‘If one chooses to attend “LatinXAmerican,” while having in mind the guiding question, “What is Latinx art today, what does it look like,” I will assure you that the exhibition provides answers that are plenty.’
Not surprisingly, the most captivating moments in the exhibition are those that unite thematic framing with formal kinship.

LatinXAmerica aims to examine and ultimately right structural wrongs, the kind perpetrated by major American museums, whose collections, according to a 2018 survey, contain just 2.8% of work by artists of Latinx heritage, despite the fact that Latinx people make up 18.5% of the U.S. population.

From legendary activist and writer Angela Davis, “I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept.”
Though for some this will be a new holiday, for others it has been a day of reflection and celebration for centuries. Real change comes in the form of new legislation, institutional reckoning, and difficult conversations. For DPAM, change is about big and small actions--everyday. How will you use your holiday? And the day after that...?

This month we’re returning to Diana Solis ‘s important archival work of the #lgbtqia community from the ‘70’s to ‘90’s, as June 2021 marks the 40th remembrance of the beginning of the AIDS epidemic.
During this period, #Chicago was full of protests and marches that were held in order to bring awareness to the city’s inadequate healthcare for HIV/Aids patients, especially patients of low income.
The photographs in this series document Solís and her friends, as well as scenes from Pride parades and Gay and Le***an rallies from 1970s to the 1990s. As a young Mexicana/Chicana photographer during this period, Solís’ life and work were very interconnected with the social and political struggles of the LGBTQ+ and women’s communities in Chicago.
View the works in-person in our #LatinXAmerican exhibition.

Peruvian artist Elena Damiani reworks objects and materials from geologic and cartographic archives, creating installations of landscapes that hover between past and present. In her work on view in The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene, Damiani layers images of active volcanoes in Hawaii and Mount St. Helens in Washington printed on transparent silk chiffon. The images have a ghostly appearance, suggesting that our relation to the past is always spectral. Damiani’s work is part of the “Raw Material” section of the The World to Come which explores the depletion of Earth’s natural resources due to large-scale mining, fracking, and extraction. Learn more at: bit.ly/DPAMTheWorldToCome The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene is organized by the Harn Museum of Art and curated by Kerry Oliver-Smith, Retired Harn Museum of Art Curator of Contemporary Art.
Brazilian artist Sandra Cinto has developed a rich vocabulary of symbols and lines to create lyrical landscapes and narratives that hover between fantasy and reality. Using drawing as a point of departure, the artist renders intricate and mesmerizing environments of turbulent seascapes, violent rainstorms, and celestial skies. Evoking stories of human hardship and redemption, these fantastical landscapes serve as a metaphor for the human odyssey, while also pushing the limits and possibilities of drawing. Cinto’s work is part of the “Deluge” section of The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene in which artists engage with the beauty and destructive power of water while calling attention to our roles in extreme weather, global warming, rising sea levels, and floods.

DePaul Art Museum presents The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene from March 19–August 16, 2020.
