Meet Bronx-born Artist Manny Vega

The experience of walking El Barrio-the Museum's own neighborhood-would be vastly different without the artworks of Manny Vega. His mosaics and murals adorn street walls, subway stations, cultural centers, and business facades throughout East Harlem. As part of the Museum’s centennial year celebration, "Byzantine Bembé: New York by Manny Vega" explores Vega's visual storytelling as it interweaves community stories with themes that range from African deities to urban mythologies.
