Colectiva Manos held its first group exhibition, titled adentro, afuera: outside-and-in, at Antenna Gallery in New Orleans from May 11 - June 21, 2024.

group statement:

As Latine artists, we are often identified by others in relation to where “home” is and isn’t. Yet, our lived experiences of “home” are not contained by borders, walls, or experienced solely as a space “inside.” For us, home extends and collapses into the world beyond, lived as an “outside-and-in.” Adentro, afuera: outside-and-in explores the concept of “home” as both container and continuum. A “home” can function as a container for objects and people, and it also extends beyond the domestic interior into a spectrum of experiences, connections, and locations — the natural landscape, the body, and our relationships with other people, for example. We invite you to reflect on your own experiences of ‘home’ as you explore the artworks presented in this exhibition. How do your personal connections, memories, and cultural influences shape your understanding of “home?”

Where, if at all, does home begin and end for you?

featuring works by andrea narno, angel perdomo, arlyn jimenez, basqo bim, marcus chapa wilson, maya pen, and sydney calderon
