The selection of an exhibition about Einar and Jamex de la Torre – often referred to collectively as “The de la Torre Bros.” – is relevant since the artist duo has a particular vision of the Latinx experience and American culture. It is explored in their work through a combination of humor and critical earnestness, borrowing elements from Mexican culture (pre-Columbian, historical, and popular) and other places in a sort of chameleonic-kaleidoscopic process that explodes into a myriad of layered images and meanings. Through their work, audiences will become familiar with concepts such as identity, mestizaje, Latinidad, hybridity, globalization, bi-culturalism, and more as well as interacting and engaging with the work through programming.
