JUAN SÁNCHEZ DISCUSSED IN SCHOLAR ALEJANDRO ANREUS'S ARTICLE "DIVERSITY DONE RIGHT"

Curator, art historian, and critic Alejandro Anreus wrote "Diversity Done Right" in Commonweal, where he reflects on El Museo del Barrio's exhibition
Something Beautiful: Reframing La Colección and The Metropolitan Museum of Art's exhibition Juan de Pareja, Afro-Hispanic Painter.

"[...] Juan Sánchez's gorgeous painting The Most Cultural Thing You Can Do (1983) [...] fuses luscious colors and rich textures, pictographs, and a photo-collage of a tattooed Puerto Rican flag along with a text from the Young Lords about self-reliance and protection. Sánchez's ability to create politically and spiritually charged works in a formally beautiful language has few parallels in contemporary art."
