past exhibition

Roberto Lugo has created a highly personal exploration of cultural identity by considering family, place, and legacy. Te traigo mi le lo lai – I bring you my joy celebrates the joys of making art while paying tribute to the artist’s Puerto Rican roots and features new work alongside work from his early career.

Inspired both by his family’s agricultural heritage and his own youth in Philadelphia’s Kensington neighborhood, Lugo examines the core ideals of resourcefulness and self-sufficiency shared by those living in both rural and urban settings. Lugo also recognized these qualities in Manchester, a postindustrial city in a largely rural state.

The artist’s work is inspired by urban graffiti and hip-hop culture. Lugo chose to display his art in conversation with objects from the museum’s collection that speak to traditional art-making in this region. These juxtapositions invite us to consider collecting, display, and how we attach aesthetic and sentimental value to objects.

All in-gallery interpretation for this exhibition is presented in English and Spanish.
