- “Assembled over the course of more than 50 years, El Museo’s collection defies conventional museological narratives and represents a significant manifestation of our diasporic and community origins,” said Patrick Charpenel, Executive Director, El Museo del Barrio.
- The exhibition is the result of a multi-year research initiative titled Identity Reimagined: Reframing La Colección.
