LI Culture: Latino Art Exhibition Draws on Themes of Immigration and Identity
This afternoon, Long Island Wins intern Isabella Chen blogged in our LI Culture section about an ongoing art exhibition in St. James, featuring Latino artists from around the country.
From her blog post:
From sculptures that represent dual nationalities to landscape paintings addressing Latino stereotypes, “Arte Latino II Project,” an exhibition in St. James featuring 28 Latino artists from around the nation, showcases art that interweaves the themes of immigration, politics, and assimilation.
Among the artists whose work premiered at Mills Pond House Gallery on August 14 (scroll down for gallery info), two stand out from the crowd: Joycelyn Bila and Nora Chapa Mendoza.
