BlackRock Center for the Arts, ubicado en el centro de Germantown, es una de las comunidades más diversas del país. La misión de BlackRock es desarrollar programación y exhibiciones que reflejan la diversidad en el área. La exhibición Estamos Aquí celebra al artista latino, abarca una variedad de experiencias a través de imágenes visuales, y educa a la comunidad de Germantown. La exposición tiene la intención de honrar a la población latina a través de la representación mostrando por las obras de arte hecho por voces interseccionales, y reconociendo la contribución latina al arte contemporáneo de hoy.
La obra de arte puede incluir, entre otras cosas, arte en 2D, medios mixtos, escultura, video y sonido. Invitamos a la innovación, la colaboración y comunidad al espacio. La exposición destaca la cultura, la identidad, el idioma, la ceremonia, el legado, el estilo de vida, la historia y la familia latina. Y hace la pregunta: ¿Cómo se ve esto visualmente, a través de las palabras y la experiencia de las artes finas? La exhibición será en conjunto con el Festival Latino de BlackRock el 1 de octubre.
BlackRock Center for the Arts, located in the center of Germantown, is one of the most diverse communities in the Country. BlackRock's mission is to develop programming and exhibitions that reflect that diversity in the area. The exhibit Estamos Aqui celebrates the Latino artist, encompasses a range of experiences through visual imagery, and educates the Germantown community. The exhibition intends to honor the Latino population through representation by showcasing the artwork of intersectional voices and acknowledging the Latino contribution to contemporary art today.
The artwork can include but is not limited to 2D art, mixed media, sculpture, video, and sound. We invite innovation, collaboration, and community to the space. The exhibition highlights Latino/a culture, identity, language, ceremony, legacy, lifestyle, history, and family. And ask the question: What does that look like visually, through words and the fine art experience? The exhibition will be in conjunction with BlackRock's Latino Festival on October 1.
