The exhibition "Something Beautiful: Reframing La Colección," showcased at El Museo del Barrio in New York, was organized by Rodrigo Moura, Chief Curator; Susanna V. Temkin, Curator; and Lee Sessions, Permanent Collection Associate Curator. The exhibition presented approximately 500 artworks, including new acquisitions and artist commissions, through rotating displays over the course of one year. Something Beautiful cuts across traditional chronological, geographic, and media-specific categories, reconsidering the museum Collection through new interdisciplinary approaches rooted in El Museo del Barrio’s foundational history and legacy, focusing on the contribution of Amerindian, African, and European cultures as the basis of visual production in the Americas and the Caribbean. 

The exhibition was organized in two rotations: The first rotation consisted of eight sections plus seven artist spotlights. Themes and motifs reappear across sections to create a larger conversation throughout the exhibition; The second rotation expanded the exhibition's scope, showcasing approximately 150 additional artworks by some 60 artists, including 50 new acquisitions that have entered the collection within the last two years.
