Claire Oliver Gallery is proud to announce We AmeRícans, a group exhibition curated by acclaimed photographer and curator Ruben Natal-San Miguel, on view November 5, 2025 - January 3, 2026. Opening during National Puerto Rican Heritage Month, the exhibition brings together multiple generations of Puerto Rican and Puerto Rican-descendant artists, Carlos Betancourt, Danielle de Jesus, Elsa María Meléndez, Erica Morales, Ruben Natal-San Miguel, Dave Ortiz, Felix Plaza, Carlos Rolón, Nitza Tufiño, Beatriz Williams, whose work reflects the history, resilience, and cultural contributions of the Puerto Rican community in New York City and beyond. The exhibition title is inspired by the celebrated 1985 poem AmeRícan by Tato Laviera, a pioneering Nuyorican poet whose work embraced cultural hybridity, identity, and pride. We AmeRícans features artists whose practices span painting, photography, sculpture, printmaking, textiles, and mixed media, creating a multivocal portrait of Puerto Rican identity and its diasporic reach. Champagne reception with the artists: Friday, November 7, 6-8pm.
