Voces y Visiones: Four Decades Through El Museo del Barrio's Permanent Collection 
Curated by Elvis Fuentes, Curator, El Museo del Barrio

The premiere exhibition in our new Carmen Ana Unanue Permanent Collection Galleries celebrates El Museo's 40th anniversary. Over 100 works created by a cross-section of Latino, Caribbean, and Latin American artists trace the museum's history and the artistic contributions and milestones that have been part of El Museo's four decades. Highlighting the strengths of the collections, this installation ranges from artifacts of the ancient Taíno people and their legacy to traditional objects, postwar and contemporary art, including graphics, photography and mixed media installations.
