Descripción de la Exposición

X Factor locates, through the work of more than a dozen historical and contemporary artists, dynamic entry points into the discussion and expansion of the term Latinx. The exhibition grounds a series of redefinitions of “Latinity” in the everyday lives of its creators, especially where artworks and creative processes reconquer novel meanings from hackneyed and conventional ideas of ethnicity, race, class, politics, representation, and the history of US migration. Exhibiting artists include: Gabino A. Castelán, Gisela Colón, Danielle De Jesus, Lucia Hierro, Karlo Andrei Ibarra, Laura Perez Insua, José Lerma, Eddy A. López, Miguel Luciano, Narsiso Martinez, Angel Otero, Edison Peñafiel, Shizu Saldamando, Yiyo Tirado-Rivera and Rodrigo Valenzuela. X Factor is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts. Additional funding came from contributions from members of our Director’s Circle, the Kathleen Binnicker Swann Endowment, the Lee and Victor Leavengood Endowment, the Dr. Allen W. and Janet G. Root CAM Endowment, the Sara Richter IRA Operations and Program Fund, and The Frank E Duckwall Foundation.
