Latinx Freedom

On the outdoor Plaza, The Shed presents the inaugural exhibition of the Latinx Freedom Movement Archive and Exhibition Project, a nationwide public history initiative commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Through photography, text, and visual art, this monumental new 18-foot tall public art installation explores the history of Latinx civil rights movements, including the Young Lords, and highlights the pivotal role Latinx communities have played over the decades in shaping broader struggles for justice in the United States.
