Joiri Minaya: Unseeing the Tropics at the Museum

Joiri Minaya: Unseeing the Tropics at the Museum brings together artwork by the acclaimed New York City-based Dominican artist and objects from the collection to examine how Minaya critiques Western ideas of tropicality, which are rooted in otherness and exoticism. Through these comparisons, the exhibition explores how nature, landscape, culture, and race have been historically constructed and deployed as tropes in visual culture.
