¡Oye! Cuéntame un Cuento, organized by The Latinx Project in collaboration with Stephanie Rodriguez, is an exhibition featuring four Latinx illustrators exploring biographical comics through the lens of Adversity, Community, and Oral Tradition. Artists Sharon Lee De La Cruz, Breena Nuñez, Daisy Ruiz and Stephanie Rodriguez bring a much needed spotlight to the Latinx lived experience, with their investment in visual storytelling.

Oral Tradition is an integral part of the Latinx community. It starts in childhood when children beg their elders “Cuéntame un Cuento”, or the cuentos are given anyway. We pass down these cuentos for generations, and with time, modifications are made for entertainment's sake. Often taking an autobiographical approach, these creators navigate gender, queerness, migratory displacement, and ethno-racial identities in a format that has historically underrepresented femme and non-white voices. ¡Oye! Cuéntame un Cuento brings these barrier-breaking comics to the limelight.

Visit the exhibition virtually from September 15th - December 3rd. In-person viewing is open to all NYU Students/Staff/Faculty at 20 Cooper Sq. for the duration of the exhibition.
