Where: The Whitney Museum of American Art, 99 Gansevoort St., New York, New York 10014
When: July 13 to September 30

This exhibit opening at The Whitney includes three words in the Quechua language, the most spoken Indigenous language in the Americas. Pacha encompasses the universe, time, space, or world; llaqta means place, country, community, or town; and wasichay is to build a house. These rich words together build the foundations of the exhibit, which explores how Indigenous construction has influenced the history of contemporary art and architecture in the Americas.
The show features the work of seven emerging Latinx artists based in the US and Puerto Rico: william cordova, Livia Corona Benjamín, Jorge González, Guadalupe Maravilla, Claudia Peña Salinas, Ronny Quevedo, and Clarissa Tossin.
