First Look | Allied with Power: African and African Diaspora Art from the Jorge M. Pérez Collection



Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) Curator María Elena Ortiz gives us a first look at the museum’s latest exhibition, “Allied with Power: African and African Diaspora Art from the Jorge M. Pérez Collection.”

This exhibition features over 40 works by international African and African Diaspora artists on view from the collection of longtime board member, PAMM supporter, and namesake Jorge M. Pérez. Valued at over $2.5 million, the entire exhibition has been generously pledged to PAMM’s permanent collection by Jorge M. and Darlene Pérez. The exhibition, which opens on November 7 when PAMM reopens to the public, presents a provocative group of 37 artists hailing from Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, Europe, and the US.
