Museum from Home | Exploring Latinx Art

Chuck Ramirez, Breakfast Tacos, from the series Seven Days

SAAM’s pioneering collection of work by Latinx artists presents a picture of an evolving national culture that challenges expectations of what it means to be “American” and “Latino.” These artists reflect the diversity of Latino communities in the United States, including artists of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, and Dominican descent, as well as other Latin American groups with deep roots in the United States.

Enjoy selected artworks and insights from the curator of our landmark exhibition Our America, videos featuring Latinx artists, podcasts, and a preview of the upcoming special exhibition ¡Printing the Revolution!.
