iMPerRFeCT Gallery is currently showcasing “LATINAS IN PHILLY: These are our stories”. Curated by Ayiana Viviana, this multi-sensorial exhibition celebrates the artwork of fifteen Latina artists, including photographers, yarn artists, and painters. #Presente Media attended the Artist Talk on May 1st, where the public could hear firsthand from the artists about how their cultural and personal stories shaped their art. The colorful exhibition pieces highlight the creativity, strength, and power of these Latina artists.

Taller Puertorriqueño commemorates five decades of service to the art and culture of the Latino community with an exhibition that pays tribute to an outstanding Boricua artist who is also celebrating her 50th birthday, Betsy Casañas. The “Call & Response” exhibit presents various works by Casanas, who shares a special bond with Taller.
