Sensorial Fusion: Art and Architecture in MILENIO
Cecilia Barreto's Gulf of America, featured in Sensorial Fusion: Relationship Art and Architecture at the Arts Center at Governors Island until December 19th, is reviewed by Leticia Sánchez Medel in MILENIO Magazine, "Gulf of America, la sal political de Cecilia Barreto en Nueva York."
Esta intervención cuestiona las narrativas expansionistas de Estados Unidos, critica la preservación de hegemonías económicas disfrazadas de tratados comerciales al evocar responsabilidades compartidas por contaminantes químicos en el Golfo, históricamente conocido como de México, y posicionando a México en desventaja.
This intervention questions the expansionist narratives of the United States, criticizes the preservation of economic hegemonies disguised as trade agreements by evoking shared responsibilities for chemical pollutants in the Gulf, historically known as the Gulf of Mexico, and positioning Mexico at a disadvantage.

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).
The exhibition is on view in the Upper Gallery of The Arts Center through December 19th, open Friday-Sunday (12-6pm), with additional hours by appointment. Click here to learn more.
