Joiri Minaya: Unseeing the Tropics at the Museum
January 21, 2025 – May 10, 2025 EST
Syracuse University Art 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.
This exhibition is curated by Cristina E. Pardo Porto, assistant professor of Latinx Literatures and Cultures in the department of Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics.
