Unwind after work and spend your Thursday evening at El Museo del Barrio with an intimate gallery conversation featuring artists and thinkers who share their personal perspectives on works on view in Coco Fusco: Tomorrow, I Will Become an Island, and Jangueando: Recent Acquisitions, 2021–2025. These informal talks invite you to slow down, look closely, and connect more deeply with the artwork in an informal setting.
Tonight’s gallery talk will be led by Emmy award-winning spoken word artist and Executive Director of the Nuyorican Poets Cafe, Caridad De La Luz “La Bruja”, who will share personal reflections on selected artworks, engaging visitors through the lens of poetry, performance, and cultural expression.
Please note: El Museo will stay open late every Thursday in February, until 8:00 PM. Come early, enjoy the exhibitions at your own pace, and then join us for the gallery conversation from 6:30–7:30 PM. This program is designed as an interactive, guided experience in the galleries and has limited capacity. Advance registration is recommended. Please register here >
