Join CENTRO on November 14th at 6 PM at CUNY’s Baruch College Mishkin Gallery for a community viewing of their new exhibition, We didn’t ask permission, we just did it…, on display through December 8th, 2023. This vibrant and experimental exhibition revisits and honors the legacy of three historic exhibition series in Puerto Rico from 2000 to 2016 that foregrounded the independent spirit of art making across the region during a time of hopeful possibility. The exhibition is guest curated by Manuela Paz and Christopher Rivera of Embajada, an independent, self-funded gallery founded in San Juan in 2015. Named after the Spanish word for embassy, Embajada serves as a bridge connecting artists on the island with the rest of the world, fostering connections to the contemporary art world.
We’ll also have a live musical performance by Joel “Yoyo” Rodríguez Vargas, whose work is featured in the exhibition.
LOCATION: Mishkin Gallery, Baruch College
