Place of Encounters

Place of Encounters/Lugar de Encuentros


May 11, 2023 - January 14, 2024


North Carolina is home to a rich diversity of voices, and this is reflected in its community of Latin American artists. Work from Lugar de Encuentros / Place of Encounters often straddles two worlds, reflecting both birthplace and resettlement, exploring both tension and harmony in the relationship between the two. From film to installation art to paintings to photography, this exhibition delves into the variety of migrant experiences, offering a space for connection, a chance to encounter another’s experience through art. Artists include Nico Amortegui, Cornelio Campos, Rodrigo Dorfman, Mario Marzan, Renzo Ortega, Rosalia Torres-Weiner.

Traer a Luz/Bring to Light


May 11, 2023 – Nov 12, 2023


Dayana Camposeco’s work captures intimate, often everyday moments. Diego Camposeco described himself as a magical realist, his images as a form of writing with light, blended fact and fiction. This exhibition of photography explores the bonds of trust – between sister and brother, photographer and subject, family and community as well as light and darkness, life and death, work, and culture within the context of southern Latinx identity.
