Event Info
April 4, 2024
Firelei Báez, born in the Dominican Republic in 1981, is celebrated in the first museum survey dedicated to her richly layered work. As one of the most exciting painters of her generation, Báez explores the historical narratives of the Atlantic basin over the past fifteen years. Her exuberant paintings, drawings, and installations, informed by anthropology, geography, folklore, and more, unsettle categories of race, gender, and nationality, offering audiences a holistic understanding of her complex and profoundly moving body of work, solidifying her as a significant artist of the early 21st century.
