The USF Contemporary Art Museum (USFCAM), within the USF College of Design, Art & Performance, presents X Factor: Latinx Artists and the Reconquest of the Everyday.

X Factor opens Friday, January 17 with an Artists Conversation and Opening Reception. The exhibition is on view from January 17 through March 8, 2025.

X Factor locates dynamic entry points into the ongoing discussion and expansion of the term Latinx through the work of fifteen of America’s leading contemporary artists. The exhibition grounds a series of redefinitions of “Latinity” in the everyday lives of its creators, especially where artworks and creative processes reconquer novel meanings from hackneyed and conventional ideas of ethnicity, race, class, politics, representation, and the various histories of US migration.

Exhibiting artists: Gabino A. Castelán, Gisela Colón, Danielle De Jesus, Lucia Hierro, Karlo Andrei Ibarra, Laura Perez Insua, José Lerma, Eddy A. López, Miguel Luciano, Narsiso Martinez, Angel Otero, Edison Peñafiel, Shizu Saldamando, Yiyo Tirado-Rivera and Rodrigo Valenzuela.

X Factor is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.
