SUMMARY:(Partner Event) Opening Reception of ALMA: Echoes of the Nuyorican Movement
DESCRIPTION:Taller Boricua presents ALMA: Echoes of the Nuyorican Movement\, an exhibition honoring over five decades of Puerto Rican artistic expression and cultural resistance. Founded in 1969\, Taller Boricua has been a vital hub for Puerto Rican artists in New York\, offering a space for creative freedom and activism. The exhibition showcases key works from the iconic 30th Anniversary Portfolio\, which pairs visual art and poetry by notable Nuyorican artists\, reflecting the intersection of culture\, identity\, and social justice. The portfolio includes work by Rafael Tufiño\, Diogenes Ballester\, Gloria Rodriguez (RoCa)\, Nitza Tufiño\, Fernando Salicrup\, Marcos Dimas\, and Juan Sanchez\, alongside poets Jesús Papoleto Meléndez\, Pedro Pietri\, Tania Niomi\, María Boncher\, Hector Rivera\, y Mariposa (María Teresa Fernández Rosario).\n\nThe exhibition also features new works by current members of the Rafael Tufiño Printshop\, ensuring that the traditions of Puerto Rican printmaking continue to thrive. These contemporary pieces highlight the ongoing relevance of themes like resistance\, identity\, and community\, which have defined the Nuyorican movement for over five decades. Current printshop’s participating printmakers include Minerva Gonzalez Suvidad\, Albert Justiniano\, Betty Cole\, James Cuebas\, Eliezer Berrios\, Carmen Ayala\, Mariana Ayala\, Oliver Ríos\, Felix Plaza\, George Malave\, and Ada Pilar Cruz.\n\nThis exhibition is open through March 30th with an artist talk on March 1st at 2pm. \n\nThis year\, The Latinx Project at New York University has been at the forefront of exploring Nuyorican and Diasporican histories\, with the forthcoming book Nuyorican and Diasporican Visual Art: A Critical Anthology (Duke University Press)\, edited by Arlene Dávila and Yasmin Ramirez\, and their exhibition RicanVisions: Global Ancestralities and Embodied Futures\, (January 31 – May 2) which features the work of 19 contemporary Nuyorican and Diasporican artists. While distinct\, this exhibition at Taller Boricua resonates with The Latinx Project’s efforts to focus on the Diasporican experience. Together\, these initiatives highlight the ongoing evolution and expansion of the Nuyorican identity and art. We invite visitors to attend The Latinx Project’s programming and explore these rich narratives\, gaining complete insight into this moment of reflection and connection and engaging with the evolving futures of the Nuyorican and Diasporican communities.\n\nTaller Boricua Galleries: 1680 Lexington Avenue\, Harlem\, NYC\, New York 10029.
