Career-Spanning Exhibition of Works by María Magdalena Campos-Pons Now Open!

The first survey of Campos-Pons’s work since 2007, Behold brings together career highlights and new works, along with a multimedia series on view for the first time in the United States. The artist reflects on how her heritage as a Black Cuban woman with ancestral roots in Spain, China, and the Yoruba culture of West Africa informs her artistry. With over 50 examples of multimedia work, including photography, painting, sculpture, and more, the exhibition explores a history of diaspora, displacement, and migration, as well as labor, motherhood, and spirituality.
