Twenty-two Dominican artists present an exhibition from February 19 to April 16 at the Hostos Center for the Arts and Culture in New York, whose practices link cultural heritage and contemporary expression.

Titled "Roots and Renaissance: Dominican Women in Art," the exhibition highlights how women reinterpret tradition while embracing new creative directions.

The exhibition is curated by Austria Ulloa.

The 22 artists are: Adela Doré, América Olivo, América Rodríguez, Ana María López, Carmen Inés Bencosme, Citlally Miranda, Iliana Emilia García, Inés Tolentino, Iris Pérez, Joiri Minaya and Judith Mora. Also: Julianny Ariza, Luanda Lozano, Luz Severino, Marcia Guerrero, Nathalie Landestoy, Patricia Encarnación, Paula Saneaux, Scherezade García, Soraya Abu Naba'a, Wildriana Paulino and Yelaine Rodríguez.

"Through diverse mediums, including painting, sculpture, photography and mixed media, the artists explore themes of memory, identity and transformation. Drawing inspiration from Dominican folklore, Afro-Caribbean spirituality and lived experiences of migration and diaspora, their works reflect deeply personal narratives and broader global dialogues," a press release states.
The document expresses that, more than a showcase of individual talent, "Roots and Rebirth" explores how Dominican artists remain firmly connected to their history while redefining what it means to be part of an ever-evolving culture.
"The concept of 'rebirth' here is not about leaving the past behind, but about transforming it, honouring tradition while forging new paths of artistic and personal expression," she says.

As a platform for dialogue and discovery, the exhibition invites viewers to consider how roots can both anchor and inspire growth.
