Nostalgia is a free, curated art exhibition featuring Salvadoran and Central American artists. This is a journey through memory—through the moments, places, and stories that have shaped who we are—and the quiet thread that binds past and present, carrying traditions, emotions, and stories across generations. Each work becomes a vessel for personal history, linking intimate experiences to migration, survival, and identity, and inviting visitors to pause, reflect, and engage with the layered, tender realities of diasporic life.
Free pupusa for the first 100 participants!!
