"The opening of the CONstitutionX: Our Human Rights held last week was spectacular to say the least. It was a grand success on so many levels! It was really engaging and created the much anticipated empathic response. The interactions between audience and artists were a sight to see and experience, as was the artwork itself!"-Rolando Chang Barrero
Artist: Maria Lino
The exhibition which opened last Saturday on September 28, 2019 was purposely held on the anniversary date that The U.S. Congress voted to send the new Constitution of the United States to the state legislatures for their approval and will close on November 8, 2019; the anniversary of the election of President Abraham Lincoln who authored of The Emancipation Proclamation.
The curators, Rolando Chang Barrero and Sonia Baez-Hernandez selected together 23 International Artists and 2 organizations unite for Social Justice and awareness. The exhibition includes a series of visual art presentations, theatrical performances, performance art, films, workshops, artists talks and video curated by both artist/curators who have long established their presence in the the art world as leaders of social justice art and have exhibited alongside many of the artists in the exhibition.
