Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with a virtual visit to the Los Angeles Museum of Latin-American Art, a pioneering museum dedicated to ground-breaking exhibits of Latin-American and Latinx artists.
Let's Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month!
Two museum docents will walk us through a critical selection from MOLAA’s permanent collection. Most of these works were created by artists who are still living and working. Thanks to the generosity and foresight of donors, lenders, and curators, the social emphasis in the collection is strong, just as it is in Latin America. Artists featured include Sandra Boulanger (French-Bolivian, 1966), Amalia Caputo (Venezuela, 1964), Daniela Edburg (United States, 1975), Ingrid Hernandez (Mexico, 1974), Natalia Iguiñiz (Peru, 1973), Veronica Riedel (Guatemala, 1961), Cinthya Soto (Costa Rica, 1969), Miguel Alvear (Ecuador, 1964), Carlos Garaicoa Manso (Cuba, 1967), Nereo López-Meza (Colombia, 1920-2015) among others.
The Museum of Latin American Art (MOLAA) established in 1996 in Long Beach, California, is the only museum in the United States dedicated exclusively to modern and contemporary Latin American and Latino art. MOLAA has played a pivotal role in showcasing the diverse and vibrant artistic expressions of this region, such as artworks by renowned artists like Tamayo, Matta, Cruz-Diez, Los Carpinteros, and Tunga. Through its exhibitions, programs, and educational initiatives, MOLAA honors the richness and complexity of Latin American and Latino art while fostering dialogue and understanding within the community.
