We reopen the Neuberger Museum of Art on Sunday, April 28th with this timely exhibition, which focuses on the work of four leading Latin American artists who challenge the trend in Latin American countries to use their pre-Columbian heritage as a strategy to reinforce national unity. By fusing ancient Aztec, Mayan or Incan art forms with pop-culture imagery in an ironic and often humorous manner, the artists address concerns specific to Latin America today such as national identity, “cultural colonization,” and immigration, as well as universal questions, including corruption, war, and consumerism.

Event of note:
