Pasaporte de los Sueños
Pasaporte de los Sueños (Passport of Dreams) forms a bridge between past and present, illuminating not just the wisdom and experiences of our elders, but also the dreams and stories of our ancestors. This exhibition showcases the works of Latine artists who bring to life stories, memories, and traditions that have traveled through generations.
Central to the exhibition is the recognition of the dreams that propelled our ancestors forward, the traditions they held for future generations, and how these aspirations have been shaped, preserved, or sometimes altered by the forces of colonization, migration, and displacement. It considers the passport not just as a travel document, but as a metaphor for the journeys—both literal and symbolic —that have defined the Latine experience.
The video art in "Pasaporte de Los Sueños" explore the enduring impact of these journeys on our identity and community. They question how the resilience of our ancestors and the guidance of our elders shape our contemporary sense of self. The exhibition asks: How do we catalog and honor the dreams of those who came before us?

Currents
Movement, in its various forms, is inherent to life and society. From the physicality of human motion to the profound narratives of mass migration, from the pulse of city life to the waves of social change, and the subtleties of emotional transitions - movement is a fundamental thread that weaves our shared human experience.
In this exhibition, the images and moving images each capture a facet of movement. We are looking for works that tell stories of movement in its broadest sense, reflecting the rhythms of change, adaptation, and connection.
We invited visitors to document the exhibition with disposable cameras.
