Partner Event: Digital MoCHA: The Online Archives of the Museum of Contemporary Hispanic Art Collection

Join us for an afternoon with the Hostos Archives to celebrate its new digital repository showcasing the Museum of Contemporary Hispanic Art (MoCHA) Collection. The event will launch the open-access portal Digital Culture of Metropolitan New York, an online gallery containing a dazzling array of exhibition catalogs and other primary sources at your fingertips. As part of the celebration, we will host Taína Caragol, Curator of Painting and Sculpture and Latino Art and History at the National Portrait Gallery of the Smithsonian. Her talk will focus on MoCHA as a trailblazing and innovative museum exhibiting Latinx/e artists not traditionally recognized by mainstream art institutions in the U.S. and Latin America.
