Stephen Street is pleased to present the third edition of  ¡Te Amo Porque S.O.S. Pueblo! An exhibition featuring works by immigrant artists who arrived in the United States as undocumented minors, alongside artists with family histories shaped by migration and border crossings. ¡Te Amo Porque S.O.S. Pueblo! takes its name from the poem “Te Quiero” by Uruguayan poet Mario Benedetti, which translates to “I love you because you are my people,” with “S.O.S.” stylized to evoke a state of emergency in response to the current climate of hate, racism, deportations, and terror.

Throughout  the exhibition, programming will include art activations, collective art-making during the opening and closing receptions. Also we will create the art festival ¡A Toda Madre!, in collaboration with REINTERPRETAR Podcast as part of Ridgewood Open Studios, honoring motherhood and immigration.

This third edition of ¡Te Amo Porque S.O.S. Pueblo! focuses on making immigrant presence visible, creating a space to learn and honor motherhood as a vital force within the process of immigration.
