The Niagara Arts & Cultural Center NACC is excited to share a new CALL FOR ARTISTS in our continued partnership with Los Artistas del Barrio Buffalo (LADBB). Beyond Borders is an annual exhibition curated by Dr. Michele Agosto and Aileen Gonzalez-Marti. Beyond Borders is an event that celebrates and showcases the diverse art works of Latino/a/x artists from across Western New York, and invites artists throughout New York State and Canada.
Beyond Borders offers a visual and performative platform to connect and communicate in a space that is welcoming to diverse communities. LADBB invites the viewer to enter into a metaphorical journey; a journey that reveals the complex stories of what living “beyond borders” means, extending far beyond the Western New York region.
This year’s Call for Work asks artists and visual performers to consider the 5 senses known to humans: TOUCH, SMELL, SIGHT, TASTE, and SOUND as they relate to Beyond Borders’ larger context of discovery and exploration of one’s personal journey.
Artists do not need to be Hispanic or Latino/a/x or Spanish-speaking, but we do request that our culture, heritage, and history be respected and considered in the work. In doing so, we believe this will foster critical and courageous conversations that are required to understand one another’s journeys and truths.
