Under the direction and curation of Nubia Abaji, the exhibition celebrates the diversity and creativity of the Hispanic American community in contemporary art.
The opening, held on November 2 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., will feature the Argentine Consul in Miami, Marcelo Gilardoni as the host, who will deliver opening remarks and in
