To Dream con los cuerpos [Exhibition] April 20-26 | Transformer | FREE
Immerse yourself in this thought-provoking exhibition featuring works by Jennifer Albarracin Moya, Rachel Dickerson, Patricia Encarnación, Kiara-Maribel Rivera, Raúl Romero, and Gabriel Soto. The collection examines dreams—both how they are manifested and disrupted—through multiple artistic perspectives. "Dreams are held in the individual body, pulsing through muscle memory, surfacing in gestures, and manifesting themselves in our daily movements. But they’re also inscribed upon the collective body: the body of a people, of a nation, of history itself." Information
