Vidas Suspendidas

Narrative Self Portraits by Latinx Artists from Puentes de Salud

"Vidas Suspendidas/Suspended Lives" highlighted the personal journeys of nine Latinx artists living in the United States. In partnership with Puentes de Salud, a nonprofit that promotes wellness for Philadelphia’s Latinx immigrant population through health, education, and community programs, PMG hosted its first powerful exhibition of sculptures in the outdoor labyrinth. Latinx artists from across Philadelphia created life-size, papier-mâché self-portraits to celebrate the diversity and complexity of immigrant stories. This project was created and facilitated by Nora Hiriart Litz, Director for Art and Culture at Puentes de Salud. Each artist narrated their experiences that accompany their artworks.
