INTERSECTIONALITY AND INCLUSIVITY AT THE FOREFRONT OF ARMORY ART SHOW BY SHALINI PASSI An ode to contemporary and modern art, The Armory Show opened on 9th September 2022 with a revived enthusiasm. Ranging from iridescent installations at Templon gallery booth to three-dimensional etchings at Polígrafa Obra Gràfica exhibit, the show covered the themes of nostalgia, home, displacement, and identity in the context of global economical and ecological changes. The fair divided into five sections namely Galleries, Solo, Focus, Presents and Platforms has been helmed by three curators Carla Acevedo-Yates, Tobias Ostrander, and Estrella B. Brodsky with similar curatorial practice, dabbling in Latin American and Latinx art, celebrating ongoing artistic initiatives worldwide in emerging as well as well-established art spaces.
