With this exhibition, the featured artists physically and metaphorically join the contemporary conversation, forcing us to recognize they are, and will be, occupying space. Beverly Acha, C.J. Chueca, Edra Soto, Ivelisse Jimenez, Marisol Martinez, and Victoria Martinez aim to join in on the social and cultural shifts to close historical gaps of visual representation. XX works towards the inclusion of female Latinx artists working in abstraction. ambientes anaranjadas, 2019. Beverly Acha. Oil on canvas.
