AMA | Art Museum of the Americas, of the Organization of American States (OAS) presents Ñew York, an exhibition that addresses mobility in an era of widespread displacement where barriers between the global and the local are broken down. The artists were selected based on their artistic careers and their approaches to concepts of mobility, migration and cultural exchange, all intrinsic to a city where new ideas, experiences and diversity converge.
