SUMMARY:Gallery Conversations  PERSPECTIVAS: Power\, Memory\, and the Politics of Looking
DESCRIPTION:Registration here > \n  \nUnwind 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. \nThe final conversation in this February series will be led by María A. Cabrera Arús\, a sociologist and instructor at New York University’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study. Arús studies the politics of fashion and material culture and collects artifacts\, clothing\, and memorabilia from post-1959 Cuba. Her work connects Cold War–era material politics to contemporary meanings\, including how artifacts of that period resonate today in Cuba and within diasporic communities. She will guide participants through selected works from Coco Fusco: Tomorrow\, I Will Become an Island. \nPlease 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. > \n \nMaría A.
