Popular Painters and Other Visionaries (Online exhibition)

Popular Painters and Other Visionaries examines the contributions of 30 schooled and self-taught artists working between the 1930s and 1970s in different parts of the Americas and the Caribbean.

The common experience of diaspora is shared by the artists featured in the show - whether as African populations in the New World, Latin American and Caribbean people in the United States, or in reference to the displacement of Amerindian populations within their own territories. This is reflected in the impact of migration, exclusion, marginalization, cultural resistance, indigeneity, self-determination, and autobiography that is present in their works.
