Layered Legacies

Negotiated Expressions of Identity, Resistance, and Imagination in Latin America and Spain

On view starting Sep 23, 2025

Layered Legacies explores histories of severance and continuity in Latin America and Spain. Across the included works, themes of collectivity, religious syncretism, mestizaje, exoticism, cultural hybridity, and reclamation emerge. Artists from these interconnected lands created works that captured the pulse of a time defined by rapid and transformative change. Their narratives remind us that the questions they grappled with — about identity, belonging, and cultural survival — remain just as resonant today.

This exhibition is made possible through the generous support of the Zapanta-Alder & Rebecca Zapanta Family Collection, Z.A. Lawyers, Empowered with Gina™, and the Saunders Ohana Family Trust.
