Through their bilingual digital initiative El Museo en Tu Casa visitors will now be able to explore and learn about El Museo’s permanent collection, past exhibitions and archives, as well as, participate in live virtual art talks and programs, access educational resources, and more. They kick-off their programming this month with a virtual tour by curator Susanna V. Temkin of Soy Isla (I Am an Island), a solo exhibition by Zilia Sánchez. The exhibition was organized by The Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C.  

Held live via Zoom, "visit" the first museum retrospective dedicated to Sanchez's career, tracing over seven decades from her early days in Cuba to her extended travels in Europe in the 1950s and residence in New York in the 1960s, and finally her move to Puerto Rico, where she has lived and worked since the early 1970s.

You can RSVP here. Admission is free via Zoom Live.
