Latin America’s Urban Spaces Provide Catalyst for New Exhibition ‘City Limits’
04 December, 2017A new exhibition entitled City Limits: Inside, Above, Within at El Barrio’s Art-space PS109 in New York will attempt to show how life within the city has transformed in the modern world, with themes of climate change, localism, gentrification, relocation and globalization all playing their part.

Here is the exhibition’s curator, Alexis Mendoza to explain a little more: “By presenting these very different projects in one exhibition, we hope to highlight two important aspects of the artistic engagement. Firstly, we wish to frame the current discourse on the topic within its historical context and begin to delineate a social change for this process. Secondly, we wish to formulate the practice of a collaborative point of view from different artists. As in other struggles for reclaiming spaces that belong to the public, the strategy of cooperation reveals itself as fundamental. Hence, all the exhibited artworks both contribute to the re-appropriation of the view from inside, from above and from within and explore new modes of cooperation, sharing, and exchange.”
