About
This grouping honors and celebrates El Museo del Barrio’s neighborhood of El Barrio (also known as Spanish Harlem or East Harlem) in New York City, as well as the Latino and Nuyorican culture that has flourished there for generations. Through gestures at once whimsical and conceptual, the grouping of artworks illuminates vernacular artistic expressions and quotidian scenes from the neighborhood.
