With the 2020 presidential primary campaigns are now in full swing, the race is on to win over Latino voters. ICE raids and deplorable detention center conditions have sparked public uproar in the U.S. But a harsh crackdown on migrant crossings in Mexico has gotten far less reaction. And Latino students are the largest racial-ethnic group in Boston Public Schools. So why are the voices of Latino parents missing from crucial BPS decisions?

You might be familiar with the phrase, “less is more." It describes minimalism - an art movement characterized by simple content and form - with no personal expression. But a new exhibit at the Institute of Contemporary Art declares "less is a bore" marking a renewed excitement about Maximalism with its loud and layered complex visuals.

Guest curator Jenelle Porter selected the 40 artists for Less is a Bore: Maximalist Art and Design. We took a trip to the Institute of Contemporary Art to speak with her and explore the exhibit.

Less is a Bore is on view at the ICA now until September 22.
