Dancing the Revolution: From Dancehall to Reggaetón is a major exhibition that explores and expands the visual, political, and spiritual histories of dancehall and reggaetón through contemporary art—two dynamic genres that have transcended their grassroots origins to shape global culture. From Kingston to San Juan through Panama, New York City, and London, Dancing the Revolution positions music and dance as a revolutionary practice for collective liberation rooted in the struggle against colonial oppression.
Dancing the Revolution: From Dancehall to Reggaetón is curated by Carla Acevedo-Yates, former Marilyn and Larry Fields Curator and Director of Curatorial Initiatives, with Cecilia González Godino, former Marjorie Susman Curatorial Fellow, Iris Colburn, Curatorial Associate, Nolan Jimbo, Assistant Curator, and nibia pastrana santiago, Curatorial Consultant. The exhibition is designed by SKETCH | Johann Wolfschoon, Panamá.
