The Americas Society exhibition depicts how, over the course of a century of rapid urban growth, sociopolitical upheavals and cultural transitions reshaped the architectural landscapes of major cities in Latin America.

New York New Music Ensemble returns to Music of the Americas with a program featuring new music from Brazil, including three world premieres.

In their new release Tango Fado Duo (Sorel Classics), guitarist Pedro H. da Silva and bandoneonist Daniel Binelli explore the relationship between the sensuality of Argentine tango and the passion of Portuguese fado, interweaving the traditional sounds of their respective instruments.

The String Orchestra of New York City, a dynamic and conductorless ensemble, presents "Mind the Gap," featuring the world premiere of Bridges by Cuban composer Keyla Orozco for string orchestra and rumba tap dancer Max Pollak. 

Gabriela Rangel, director of Visual Arts at Americas Society, leads a guided tour highlighting key artworks and ephemera from the exhibition, as well as stories about the artist’s community and network in Brazil.

In conjunction with the exhibition, Americas Society publishes the book José Leonilson: Empty Man.

The movie by Carlos Nader focuses on the work of Brazilian artist José Leonilson as he discovers he is HIV positive.
