Hidden Altars of Grief and Remembrance features 23 artists impacted by immigration and the communities they represent. The exhibition creates a space where grief, memory, and cultural survival meet, showing how immigrant communities build archives of their lives and experiences through art, ritual, and collective care. Each artwork becomes an altar of remembrance and resistance, honoring ancestors and mourning lives lost to state violence. These pieces affirm community resilience, spotlighting new traditions that are rooted in collective care and courage born from deep love. The exhibition is presented as the fifth edition of the ¡Te Amo Porque S.O.S. Pueblo! project and as a Queens Museum Community Partnership Exhibition in tandem with the Día de Muertos Community Ofrenda.
Hidden Altars of Grief and Remembrance is organized by Guadalupe Ambrosio, Guest Curator for ¡Te Amo Porque S.O.S. Pueblo!
