Crafting Modernity: Design in Latin America, 1940–1980

This MoMA exhibition presents the conflicting visions of modernity in designing home environments in Latin America between 1940 and 1980—a period during which the home became a site of experimentation for modern living and broad repercussions for Latin American visual culture.. In this exhibition, objects including furniture, appliances, posters, textiles, and ceramics, as well as a selection of photographs and paintings, will explore these tensions.
