“WE ARE YOU INTERNATIONAL: NEW ENGLAND EDITION,” is a traveling art show organized by the We Are You Project, as a spotlight on the contributions of US-Latinos within America's history in the context of socio-political struggles for civil rights, tolerance, and freedom. We Are You International is a landmark artistic initiative; selecting and presenting key Latino artists and art-works for a group exhibition of the work of 36 major contemporary Latino artists, reflecting ancestral heritages from over a dozen Latin American nations, among them artists such as Roberto Marquez and Mel Ramos.

Jose Acosta, Strength in Numbers

The exhibit at Fountain Street Fine Art and related venues within Framingham will mark the first time this project will be displayed in New England.  Since its Inaugural Exhibition in 2012 at the Wilmer Jennings Gallery in New York City, this exhibition has traveled throughout the country, and is scheduled for exhibition in Europe later this year. Several new pieces have been added specifically for the Framingham exhibit. We Are You Project is the first comprehensive 21st Century coast-to-coast exhibition depicting current Latino socio-cultural, political, and economic conditions, reflecting triumphs, achievements, risks and vulnerabilities, affecting all Latinos “within,” as well as “outside” the USA.
