Destination/El Destino: A Decade of Graft

Hyde Park Art Center proudly presents Destination/El Destino: a decade of GRAFT, the largest solo exhibition to date of Puerto Rican artist, educator, and community organizer Edra Soto. The exhibition offers a broad survey of the artist’s entire GRAFT series that originated in 2013, and premiers a new large-scale commission created in part during the artist’s 2022 year-long residency at the Art Center. Examining the reality of living in diaspora, the interactive exhibition encompassing large sculptures, documentary photographs, and games, will activate the Art Center’s main gallery that doubles as an indoor and outdoor space, serving as a playful hub for dialogue, rest, and communal healing throughout the summer season. Destination/El Destino: a decade of GRAFT will be on view from April 22 – August 6, 2023.
