McAllen, TX — The International Museum of Art & Science (IMAS) proudly presents its current exhibition, “Rompiendo el cielo,” showcasing the groundbreaking works of American artist Uriel Landeros “Conquista.” This thought-provoking exhibition is on view from September 18, 2024, to January 19, 2025.
“Rompiendo el cielo,” which translates to “Breaking the Sky,” explores themes of defiance, transformation, and the quest for freedom. Landeros’ work delves into concepts of identity, cultural heritage, and migration, while offering a compelling perspective on the representation of Indigenous communities in contemporary art. The exhibition’s highlight is a striking series of portraits of influential figures who have “broken the sky” through their exceptional achievements and contributions to society.
