Exhibition Title: Dominican Yorks at the Hispanic Society
Location: Hispanic Society Museum & Library
Dates: February 23 – June 30, 2024
The Hispanic Society Museum & Library inaugurates Arte en el Alto Manhattan with Dominican Yorks at the Hispanic Society featuring three Dominican-born co-curators exhibiting works created in artistic dialog with HSM&L’s collection based on their individual aesthetic approaches as well as their unique perspective as Dominican immigrants in New York. The works showcased express the complicated transnational and intercultural identity, which these artists share with over 2 million Dominican-Americans in the United States, approximately half of whom reside in the NYC Metropolitan area, particularly in the museum’s home neighborhood of Washington Heights.
Co-curators: Reynaldo García Pantaleón, Chiqui Mendoza, & Rider Ureña
