Whose America? Exhibition Opening

Whose America? critically examines the United States’ relationship to “America” in all of its pluralities. Whose America? draws upon the pluralistic wellspring of experience by artists hailing from countries throughout North America, Central and South America and the Caribbean, all of which are underpinned by Indigenous people’s historic ties to the land that precede the founding of this country. The exhibition will feature work by dozens of artists from countries including Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Cuba, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico and Puerto Rico.

Featured artists include: Alexandra Bell, Dawoud Bey NA, Lizania Cruz, J. Yolande Daniels NA, Myriam Dion, Teresita Fernández NA, Rafael Ferrer NA, Charles Gaines NA, Anna Bella Geiger, Carmen Herrera NA, Alfredo Jaar NA, Roberto Juarez NA, Joyce Kozloff NA, Glenn Ligon NA, Maya Lin NA, An-My Lê, Guadalupe Maravilla, Sandra Monterroso, Asicaz Monzón, Nadia Myre, Angel Nevarez & Valerie Tevere, Claudia Peña Salinas, Ronny Quevedo, Faith Ringgold NA, Coral Saucedo Lomelí, Shahzia Sikander NA, Edra Soto, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith NA, Kay Walkingstick NA, Nari Ward NA, Nico Williams, Martin Wong, Horacio Zabala.
