Cafecito con Carla Acevedo-Yates - Curator of Entre Horizontes: Art & Activism Between Chicago & PR

Join curator, Carla Acevedo Yates, and CENTRO Directora, Dr. Yomaira Figueroa-Vásquez, for a cafecito as they journey through entre horizontes: Art and Activism Between Chicago and Puerto Rico. Together, they’ll explore the intersection of art and activism, and unpack the myriad ways in which creative expression can shape narratives, challenge norms, and build bridges between communities.
entre horizontes: Art and Activism Between Chicago and Puerto Rico examines the artistic genealogies and social justice movements that connect Puerto Rico with Chicago. Featuring works by an intergenerational group of artists with ties to Chicago, the exhibition presents Puerto Rican painters who use printmaking techniques and approaches alongside artists who address social and political issues through their work.
