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
