FREE ADMISSION
Legacy Lab: Life Interwoven
Featuring works and archival materials by Danny Aros, Yeline Del Carmen, Evelyn Martinez, Alexis Marie Montoya, Joshua Poyer, Sophie Vasquez, and Felicia Wilson, the exhibition celebrates the power of community archiving and how personal narratives become part of a shared cultural memory.
Curated by Valarie Irrizary and Oscar J. Rivera, the exhibition will be on view from November 13, 2025, to February 20, 2026, at Pregones Theater, located at 575 Walton Avenue in The Bronx, New York. Viewing is available from Monday to Friday by appointment only.
The Legacy Lab: Life Interwoven invites audiences to reflect on how the stories we preserve, through family photographs, letters, oral histories, and creative expressions, connect us. Through this collective act of remembrance, the exhibition underscores how accessible archives help shape living histories, ensuring that the contributions of marginalized and underrepresented communities remain visible for generations to come.
Presented in partnership with Pregones/PRTT and the BxArts Factory, Life Interwoven transforms the gallery into a living archive, where the act of remembering is participatory and communal. The project continues En Foco’s commitment to making cultural preservation accessible, intergenerational, and community-driven.
As En Foco continues to celebrate 50 years of advancing artists of color and preserving the visual histories of diasporic communities, this exhibition reflects the organization’s enduring mission: to create platforms where art, archives, and equity converge. Life Interwoven demonstrates that archives are not static repositories, but living spaces where identities, memories, and stories continue to evolve together.
