This fully illustrated publication accompanies the Americas Society exhibition Telenovela, on view September 9, 2026 through March 27, 2027.
This book looks at how telenovelas, as popular entertainment and global commodities, have conveyed Latin American social, political and economic values.
La muestra realza "la identidad cultural plural", dijo a la agencia Aimé Iglesias Lukin, directora y curadora en jefe de Art at Americas Society.
Guitar music by Octávio Deluchi and Carlos Wernicke, plus a video by Laura Ureña, initiates a new set of En Casa performances.
"The telenovela is rarely explored as an art form in its own right, and this exhibition amends that oversight," says the publication about AS' new show.
The series presents five free performances celebrating renowned artists and groundbreaking new voices.
The late Mexican artist's work "rejected state-sponsored Muralism for personal expression," said the art publication.
