A group exhibition at New York's Leslie Lohman Museum of Art shows Latinx artists who reflect on their relationship to religion and sexuality against the background of colonialism and capitalism.

The small Leslie Lohman Museum in Lower Manhattan is New York's only queer museum. Established in 1969 as a private collection and gallery, it rose to prominence during the AIDS crisis when it saved art from dying gay artists that would otherwise have been lost. In 2016, the City of New York turned the collection into a museum, with new exhibition spaces, educational programs, and grants. With its new exhibition Indecencia (Spanish) – or shamelessness in German – it shows works by artists from Latin America who reflect on their relationship to religion and sexuality against the background of colonialism and capitalism.
