Caza: Rochele Gomez, Margaret Lee, Alejandra Seeber is part of The Neighbors, a series of three small-scale, successive exhibitions of contemporary art organized by guest curator Sofía Hernández Chong Cuy for The Bronx Museum of the Arts.

What would it mean to tame art? And, to what or for who would this taming of art serve? The group exhibition Caza—a word that in Spanish means searching or hunting, and is a homonym to the word home—is an attempt to respond to such questions.
