Guadalupe Maravilla at the Brooklyn Museum
As part of Mindscapes at the Brooklyn Museum, artist Guadalupe Maravilla’s solo exhibition, Tierra Blanca Joven, opened on April 8th, 2022.
I supported the development of the exhibition, working with the Museum’s education department and leading a team of CUNY graduate students to gather additional learning resources for the exhibition’s “healing room,” an interactive space.
Maravilla’s work grows out of his personal story of migration, trauma, and illness, and his practice includes sculpture, sound baths, and mutual aid in support of undocumented communities. Through a paid work-study program organized by the education department, teens are helping develop an interactive “healing room” space that will be adjacent to the main exhibition.
