October 2, 2025 (New York, NY) — Entre la Coca y el Oro is a site-responsive exhibition by Colombian artist Tatiana Arocha that reclaims the sacred and cultural meaning of the Coca plant. Opening October 12, 2025, at the Newhouse Center for Contemporary Art at Snug Harbor in Staten Island, the exhibition links Colombia’s biodiversity to histories of violence, resistance, and healing by challenging the colonial and extractivist narratives that have historically criminalized Coca.
