🖼️ New exhibit alert: Un Mismo Cielo: Entre Washington y Ciudad Juárez (The Same Sky: Between Washington and Ciudad Juárez) by opens on Saturday, April 25.

Join us in welcoming back Paloma Vianey, who was our guest artist during the 2025 Día de Mu***os celebration, now returning with a brand-new exhibition offering a transborder perspective that highlights the everyday, historical, and cultural ties linking these distant yet deeply intertwined places.

Through these layered pairings, Vianey invites viewers to engage urban space with heightened sensitivity and to recognize, like the landscapes that shape the work, the invisible threads that connect us beyond borders.
