The Buffalo AKG Art Museum has announced a major upcoming exhibition titled "Let Us Gather in a Flourishing Way," featuring fifty-eight contemporary Latinx artists. Curated by Andrea Alvarez, the show examines how artists from the Latin American and Caribbean diaspora are redefining the traditions of painting while challenging political and disciplinary boundaries. After its debut in Buffalo in March 2026, the exhibition will embark on a national tour to Des Moines, Phoenix, and Seattle.
This exhibition represents a significant institutional effort to address the historical exclusion of Latinx artists from the canons of American and contemporary art. By drawing inspiration from the poetry of Juan Felipe Herrera, the project emphasizes the complexity and abundance of the diaspora rather than a singular identity. The subsequent national tour underscores a growing commitment among major U.S. museums to provide a broader platform for Latinx voices and to integrate their contributions into the wider narrative of art history.
