About Us

The e-gallery presents work by visual and performance artists working in the Americas whose art functions as a form of social and political intervention. As part of the Hemispheric Institute’s online journal e-misférica, each e-gallery exhibit will be dedicated to the exploration of this work, be it photography, mural art, painting, sculpture, installation, comics, net art, etc. Each exhibit will feature the work of distinguished artists from the Americas, and will include collaborative, community-based projects and links to artists’ websites.

In keeping with mission of the Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics, the e-gallery offers a space for this work to be known, contextualized and archived.
