Local creatives weave together art and action with month-long Orozco Gallery exhibit

The art pieces hanging on the walls of Orozco Gallery, a pop-up exhibit open on The Commons from April 3 to May 2, are continuously evolving. The nomadic gallery, curated by Colombian-American artist Yen Ospina, primarily highlights the work of Latine fiber artists, bringing perspectives often marginalized in the art world to the center of Ithaca’s business district.

Last year, Ospina worked with Debra Castillo, a professor of Comparative Literature and Hispanic Studies at Cornell University, to plan the first Orozco Gallery exhibit, “We Are La Voz I.” Ospina said this year’s exhibition, “We Are La Voz II,” helped her process her grief for Castillo, who died in October 2025.
