In this solo installation, Lugo explores eclecticism and culture by

symbolism drawn from his Puerto Rican heritage. He creates a hybrid of
visual art traditions and stimulates new conversations around cultural
tolerance. The show features Lugo’s work created during his artist
residency at Project Art.
