Sensorial Fusion: Relationship Art and Architecture explores how contemporary artists from Latin America and the Caribbean engage with architecture as both context and conceptual material. The exhibition reflects on the emotional, social, and political intersections of these disciplines, addressing themes such as urban memory, gentrification, and the transformation of cultural identity. Through this cross-disciplinary dialogue, the show invites audiences to consider how built environments can become vessels of resistance, imagination, and civic engagement.
This collective exhibition within the New York Latin American Art Triennial 2025 explores the dynamics between human experience and architectural space, featuring artwork by work by Alejandra Rojas (Peru), Alessandro Valerio Zamora (Costa Rica), Álvaro Correa (Colombia), Antonio José Guzmán & Iva Jankovic (Panama), Carlos Llamas (Colombia), Cecilia Barreto (Mexico), Coco Mártin (Peru), Daniel Valladares (Honduras), García-Ordóñez (Colombia), Juliana Correa (Colombia), Natalia Mejía Murillo (Colombia), and Sabrina Merayo Nuñez (Argentina).
Contemporary art and modern architecture arose from a shared aspiration: the moral and material reconstruction of societies scarred by conflict. Together, they serve as powerful tools in shaping collective identity, reinforcing the bond between urban spaces and their inhabitants. By merging artistic expression with architectural form, NYLAAT 2025 reimagines environments that evoke emotional resonance, community, and cultural continuity—transcending mere function and technique. For generations, artists have documented the shifting contours of cities and domestic life—capturing both the vitality and alienation of urban density. In recent decades, creative discourse has expanded to address pressing global concerns: climate change, gentrification, migration, and globalization. NYLAAT 2025 invites audiences to engage with these themes through a lens of Latin American innovation, where art and architecture converge to reimagine the future.
The New York Latin American Art Triennial (NYLAAT) is dedicated to organizing exhibitions of contemporary art and cultural programming through which it seeks to promote and enrich our Latin American culture. These exhibitions are intended to provide diverse educational programs that allow a place to engage with contemporary art expressions and investigate a deeper understanding of its role in society. NYLAAT believes in the fundamental role of education and advocacy through art and in the preservation of the artistic and historic cultural legacies of the Latin American and Caribbean region. The organization seeks to galvanize the cultural landscape of these communities, complement the academic and visual arts programs of participating galleries and institutions, and foster a wider appreciation of contemporary art and cultural understanding.
