Exhibition Details
El Museo del Barrio is proud to present the first U.S. survey of influential Cuban-American interdisciplinary artist and writer Coco Fusco (b. 1960, lives in New York).
A renowned artist, Fusco has been globally lauded for her distinctly perceptive, acerbic, and piercing voice. Since the 1990s, her films, photographs, texts, installations, and performances have addressed the dynamics of politics and power in relation to issues of representation, culture, and institutional critique.

Additional Details
The exhibition includes more than three decades of Fusco’s artistic production, positioning her as one of the foremost artists shaping the contemporary art field. Spanning her now-canonical performance “Two Undiscovered Amerindians Discover the West” (presented with Guillermo Gomez-Peña) to her on-going investigation of post-revolutionary Cuban history and her most recent photographic explorations around U.S. politics, the show will offer an expansive view of her multidisciplinary career.
