"Networks of Solidarities: María Elena Ortiz"
Networks of Solidarities is a presentation focusing on the recent exhibition Flow States—a Triennial of Latinx contemporary art at El Museo del Barrio curated by Rodrigo Moura, Susana V. Temkin, and María Elena Ortiz. With a series of new commissions and pre-existing works, the exhibition considers a diasporic network of solidarities embodying Latinx Art. The presentation defines the art and artistic tendencies in relation to themes pertaining to notions of the self, migration, displacement, and contested histories. With a multigenerational approach, Flow States presents a series of practices raging from painting, conceptual art, installation, social practice, sculpture, video, and others, including artists from the US, Latin America, Europe, the Philippines, and the Caribbean. This conversation presents a creative sprawling arrangements connected through similar historical experiences and languages.
