“A Virtual Exhibition of the Hispanic Research Center’s Latinx Art Collection.” The Hispanic Research Center at ASU has a world-class collection of Latinx art, rivaling the depth and breadth of the most prominent holdings in any location. However, the over 500 pieces of artwork are largely stored offsite in a warehouse and are inaccessible to the public. This project digitizes a subset of this artwork and makes it publicly available as a virtual exhibition, allowing students, scholars and community members from around the world to access this incredible artwork alongside interpretive materials that contextualize its historic and cultural significance for Latinx and other communities.
