The New York Latin American Art Triennial (NYLAAT) is proud to announce its highly anticipated 2025 edition, happening across NYC in various locations this fall into the new year. This edition explores the dynamic interplay between contemporary art and architecture—a relationship rooted in the origins of both disciplines yet redefined by the social vision of the 20th-century Avant-Garde movements.

Latin American architecture is a vibrant testament to the region’s rich history, diverse cultures, and evolving landscapes. From Mexico to Argentina and across the Caribbean, it weaves together indigenous traditions, colonial influences, and modernist innovation. In recent years, cities such as Medellín, Santiago de Chile, Lima, Buenos Aires, Montevideo, and Mexico City have emerged as epicenters of groundbreaking architectural experimentation. These structures stand as living chronicles of regional identity, harmonizing nature, tradition, and modernity while preserving cultural heritage.
Contemporary art and modern architecture arose from a shared aspiration: the moral and material reconstruction of societies scarred by conflict. Together, they serve as powerful tools in shaping collective identity, reinforcing the bond between urban spaces and their inhabitants. By merging artistic expression with architectural form, NYLAAT 2025 reimagines environments that evoke emotional resonance, community, and cultural continuity—transcending mere function and technique. For generations, artists have documented the shifting contours of cities and domestic life—capturing both the vitality and alienation of urban density. In recent decades, creative discourse has expanded to address pressing global concerns: climate change, gentrification, migration, and globalization. NYLAAT 2025 invites audiences to engage with these themes through a lens of Latin American innovation, where art and architecture converge to reimagine the future.
