#LATRIENAL "Thru the colorful streets, gentrified neighborhoods, tax havens and paths of resistance follow the individual multiplicity, the commitment to defend humanity and the ability to affect reality at any measure desired are present. It walks and its dreams walk beside it. Creativity and raw inventiveness scream for hope and change. Individual power is heightened as one human walks as thousands. We are all able to carve myths from the ground up and manifest them as truth. This was an effort to craft this statement in visual form. We are denouncing the American’s and Puerto Rican’s government decades of blatant corruption as well as its poor behavior in the face of Covid 19 and recent natural disaster. We champion creativity as a powerful type of protest in itself and honor all of thos who fought creatively in the historic Verano Combativo of 2019." - Poncilí Creación @poncilicreacion

09/07/2020

“The Proletarian Portfolio” is a series of silkscreen portraits of early twentieth century radical Puerto Rican labor leaders, created as a collaboration between Center for Puerto Rican Studies-Centro and different artists involved with Taller Boricua. CENTRO was founded in 1973 by a group of scholars, community activists, and students as a research institute based at the City University of New York. The booklet accompanying the portfolio includes illustrations by artist Victor ‘Vitin’ Linares and short biographies of each leader written by sociologist Ricardo Campos (1946-2012), who coordinated the project at CENTRO. The portraits in the portfolio demonstrate the artists’ diversity of styles and mastery of multi-color serigraphy. The leaders depicted in the prints are portrayed engaging in the organization of strikes and marches, and the images include allusions to their working-class origins, as in the portrait of washer and presser Juana Colón (1875–1967). These prints reflect the materialist view behind the project, of turning to history to transform reality.

#ARTE Coming August 6th! El Museo del Barrio is delighted to announce the debut of Popular Painters and Other Visionaries, the museum's first online exhibition that examines the work of 30 artists from the Americas and the Caribbean. Curated by El Museo's Chief Curator, Rodrigo Moura, and originally planned as an in-person experience, the exhibition was adapted as a virtual presentation that will be on view from August 6 to November 8, 2020. The show departs from the term "popular painters" to identify artists working on the margins of modernism and the mainstream art world between the 1930s and 1970s, and will feature nearly 30 works from El Museo's Permanent Collection, several of them presented for the first time.

We are saddened to hear of the passing of Chilean #artstar Lotty Rosenfeld. In 2008, El Museo del Barrio staff and volunteers worked with Rosenfeld to create crosses on Fifth Avenue during that years Museum Mile Festival. Learn more about the artist below.
.
.
Chilean artist Lotty Rosenfeld worked in printmaking, video, and socially engaged art. In 1979, she co-founded the interdisciplinary artists' group, CADA (Colectivo de Acciones de Arte), whose interventions worked between art and politics in protest against the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. That same year, she created her most iconic work, Una milla de cruces [A Mile of Crosses], by turning one mile of lane markers on Santiago's Avenenida Manquehue into a series of crosses to mark the absence of the disappeared under Pinochet's regime. Rosenfeld repeated the performance many times across the globe, including at El Museo del Barrio as part of the groundbreaking exhibition, Arte No Es Vida: Actions by Artists of the Americas, 1960-2000.

In 2017, El Museo del Barrio in collaboration with Colectiva Infancias (@infanciascolectiva) presented a special installation in the Cuentame Gallery that displayed the migrant children experience through testimonies in graphic, oral and written form. The installation aimed to foster opportunities to understand this transnational phenomenon through their own voices and memories, and by doing so offer a more complex and nuanced view of child migration.
.
Dreaming Up North recognized the tremendous suffering, stress, and danger that migrant children experience, but also illustrates that migrant children are not mere victims, being moved around by criminals or feckless parents. Instead, it argues that their mobility is also a result of the decisions and actions children take in order to shape their own futures in the face of failed national policies, insufficient international mechanisms of support and growing global inequality.
.
We invite to see the stop-motion animation above based on the true story of Epifaneo and Maribel who lived the experience of crossing the border. These projects inspire us to reshape our conventional perceptions, where borders aren't walls that keep us apart, but spaces for new possibilities and learning.

07/21/2020

#COLLECTION Untitled (Oscar Wilde) is a print by Felix Gonzalez-Torres, a Cuban born artist who was raised in Puerto Rico and spent his career in New York City. Consisting of text written in the artist’s hand, the print features an excerpt from Oscar Wilde’s play, Salomé, A Tragedy in One Act (1907). Ripe with sensuality and embedded meaning, the text seems to allude to the identities of Gonzalez-Torres and Wilde as openly gay artists, thereby combining private and public narratives. This is characteristic of Gonzalez-Torres, who often drew on the spare language of Minimalism and Conceptual art to create his deeply personal and socially inflected works. Created on the occasion of Gonzalez-Torres’ solo exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum in 1995 – his last major exhibition prior to his untimely death from AIDS – the limited edition print reflects the artist’s predilection for multiples as part of his practice.
.

#COLECCION Sin título (Oscar Wilde) es una impresión de Felix Gonzalez-Torres, un artista nacido en Cuba que se crió en Puerto Rico y hizo su carrera en la ciudad de Nueva York. Consistiendo en un texto escrito en la mano del artista, la impresión presenta un extracto de la obra de Oscar Wilde, Salomé, A Tragedy in One Act (1907). Llena con sensualidad y significado incrustado, el texto parece aludir a las identidades de Gonzalez-Torres y Wilde como artistas abiertamente homosexuales, combinando narrativas privadas y públicas. Esto es característico de Gonzalez-Torres, quien a menudo recurrió al lenguaje sobrio del minimalismo y el arte conceptual para crear sus obras profundamente personales y socialmente inflexionadas. Creada con motivo a la exhibición individual de Gonzalez-Torres en el Museo Guggenheim en 1995, su última gran exposición antes de su prematura muerte por SIDA, la impresión de edición limitada refleja la predilección del artista por los múltiples como parte de su práctica.

The Census directly impacts our representation in government and more than $600 billion in federal funding for critical programs such as schools, housing, hospitals, roads and bridges, senior centers, job training and more. . Latinos have been historically undercounted for decades, due in large part to language barriers, poverty, education, and immigration status. This has directly disadvantaged thousands of families, communities, and neighborhoods. Today, more than ever, it is especially important to make sure that the 2020 Census fairly and accurately captures the growing Latino community, the nation's largest racial or ethnic minority group, accounting for nearly 18 percent of the U.S. population. .

Enjoy this powerful poem by Chicana poet Lorna Dee Cervantes entitled 'A Chicano Poem' in celebration of #NationalPoetryMonth They tried to take our words, Steal away our hearts under Their imaginary shawls, their laws, Their libros, their “Libranos señor”s. No more. They tried to take Away our Spirit in the rock, the Mountain, The Living Waters. They tried to steal Our languages, our grandmothers’ pacts, Our magma cartas for their own serfs. They razed the land and raised a Constitution, Declared others 3/5ths a human being, Snapped shackles, cut off a foot, Raped our grandmothers into near mute Oblivion. They burned the sacred codices And the molten goddesses rose anew In their flames. They tried to silence a Nation, tried to send The People back To the Four Corners of the world. They drew A line in the sand and dared us to cross it, Tried to peel off our skins, Xipe Totec Screaming through our indigenous consciousness. They tried to brand “America” into our unread Flesh, the skull and crossbones flying at Half-mast. They tried to put their eggs in Our baskets, tried to weave the Native Out of us with their drink and drugs, tried to Switch their mammy-raised offspring, beaded and Unshaven, as the colorless pea under our mattresses In a cultural bait and switch, hook and bait. They tried to take our words, Give us the Spanish translation for “Pain,” serve us the host of fallow fields on a China plate, stripped us of the germ and seed, Fed us in a steady diet of disease and famine. Where is the word for tomorrow to the dead? When is our kingdom come? They claim our Reclamations; our reparations, a thing of our Imaginations. I discover this truth To be self-evident: In the beginning We were here. I declare us here today And speaking.

This video was commissioned to accompany the exhibition. Conceived as a poetic, non-linear artist’s documentary, it presents the most recent interview with Zilia Sánchez. It was shot in the spring of 2018 in San Juan and produced by VideoArt Productions with director Martin Huberman and production assistant Edgar Romero. The original score is by pianist George X. Fu. Special thanks to Beatriz Bolton and the Dosal Family Foundation for their generous support of the project and to Jeremy Ney and Vesela Sretenović for their contributions.

We are saddened to hear of the passing of renowned arts scholar, historian, writer, and cultural activist Mario Cesar Romero. Known as the 'Mayor of East Harlem," Mario was an active participant in the early years of El Museo del Barrio, where he designed and created the first Three Kings Day Parade costumes in 1978. Devoting much of his life to promoting Latino art and artists, we have lost an important voice advocating for cultural representation. . . Celebrate the life and memory of Mario Cesar Romero on Thursday, April 23, 6:30 - 7:45pm through a Zoom Live memorial organized by family and friends. See link https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86067077879 . . Enjoy a clip of Mario speaking in the importance of El Museo del Barrio. 🎥 by @createtheremarkable | #restinpower #restinpeace #rip #qepd #mariocesarromero

The Museo should break ties with the Unanue family. They support a President that has been detrimental to Latinos and constantly sends racist messages attacking Latinos (and others). This is contrary to the museum's mission.
Teachable museum

I AM THE CARNIVAL ... This is how the Colombian artist Flor Maria Bouhot described herself in her exhibition "Rites and ceremonies", an exhibition held in 2002 under the patronage of the prestigious company TELEVISA in Mexico. The exhibition was held in the art rooms of the television company located in the city of Guadalajara, Jalisco. This archive video produced 18 years ago, for the Jalisco television program called Espacio del Arte, shows us not only the wonderfulness of the works that were part of the exhibition, but also speaks to us, a Flor Maria who as well as has always been, he manages to show himself full of a vibrant vitality, very sure of his plastic proposal and in addition to all of the above, he delights us with his characteristic and explosive prismatic rainbow that comes out as always from her soul. SOY EL CARNAVAL...¡ Asi se describio la Artista Flor Maria Bouhot en su exposicion “Ritos y ceremonias”, muestra realizada en el año 2002 bajo el patrocinio de la prestigiosa compañia TELEVISA de México. La exposicion se realizo en las salas de arte de la compañia televisiva ubicadas en la ciudad de Guadalajara, Jalisco. Este video de archivo producido hace 18 años atras,para el programa televisivo jaliciense llamado Espacio del Arte, nos muestra no solo lo maravilloso de las obras que hicieron parte de la muestra, sino que ademas nos habla, una Flor Maria que asi como lo ha sido siempre, logra mostrarse colmada de una vibrante vitalidad, muy segura de su propuesta plastica y adicionalmente a todo lo anterior nos deleita con su caracteristico y explosivo arcoiris prismatico que le sale como siempre del alma.

love the museum, was wondering if at this time when we are all staying at home, if you would consider showcasing how artists have been impacted by the loss or indefinite postponement of their exhibitions etc as I have been, and create a virtual online exhibition where artists from the city are invited to can with the Museum again. 👊

Have you seen this? Albor Ruiz December 14 at 9:51 PM INTENSOS RUMORES QUE CIERRAN EL MUSEO DEL BARRIO DE NUEVA YORK El Museo del Barrio, se encuentra atravezando una crisis económica por falta de liderazgo y organización corporativa. Y por falta de buenas exhibiciones, falta de actividades culturales y falta de una buena directiva formada por profesionales conocedores de como conducir una institución tan seria e importante para la comunidad puertorriqueña e hispana en general que reside en la zona tri-estatal de Nueva York. El Museo del Barrio, se encuentra en la 5ta avenida esquina a la calle 104, frente al Parque Central y a un costado del prestigioso Museo de la Ciudad de Nueva York. Esperemos que esta triste noticia sea solamente un simple rumor. LA MILLA DE LOS MUSEOS EN MANHATTAN. INC. Isack Marmolreal. Gracias a Ivan Acosta
