" UPTOWN " Nasty Women and Bad Hombres Triennial of Contemporary Art opens at El Museo del Barrio 6/13/17

UPTOWN! nasty women and bad hombres

El Museo del Barrio

June 14 to November 5, 2017

As part of its participation in The Wallach Art Gallery at Columbia University’s first Uptowntriennial, El Museo del Barrio presents an exhibition of artists living or working in Northern Manhattan. El Museo’s UPTOWN: nasty women/bad hombres presents the work of artists engaging with the legacies of sexism, racism, homophobia, the power of the media, the state of our natural environment, and violence in various ways. The artists explore these through poetry, symbolism, and metaphor or by exploring particular forms of artistic practice associated with rupture or bearing witness as a form of social protest. Some employ gendered or radical forms of art making for their purposes. Collage, documentary photography, poetic text, painting, needlepoint, textile work and animation are all methods enlisted by these artists to create works that deal with various social issues.

" Street Life : A NYC Vanishing Act" By Ruben Natal-San Miguel 9/10/15 SoHo Photo Gallery NYC

This September 11, 2015 will a one of symbolic and different kind one for me. I will have a photography exhibition a few blocks away from the World Trade Center site where 14 years ago, was a survivor out of the North Tower during the attacks. Then right after, decided to move to Harlem and become a photographer. Life comes full circle. A very special celebration of survival, struggle, redemption and life in my beloved NYC .
