The Avengers killed at the box office this past weekend - and is really, really awesome - but it's a team of white dudes. (One of them is sometimes green.) In other words; where are the Latin superheroes? Well, we at Remezcla have compiled a list of superheroes who do in fact, look like us.
In this interview, guitarist Leo Mintek of New York's future rock quintet Outernational had plenty to say about imperialism, capitalism, immigrants rights, and revolution in this exclusive interview.

This exhibition celebrates and witnesses mankind’s myriad artistic manifestations by highlighting works that have been born under difficult or collaborative circumstances, or for spiritual or communal celebrations.
Highly personal and intricate works by well-known and beloved self-taught artists such as Gregorio Marzán (1906-1997), the New York-based, Puerto Rican born sculptor, and Martín Ramírez (1895-1963), the Mexican born, California-based draftsman, will be included. Projects undertaken by professional artists working with broader creative communities will also be seen here. Examples include Margarita Cabrera (b.1973), who holds workshops with female immigrants from Mexico, in which they share their stories of crossing the border by embroidering narratives on the cactuses crafted from used border patrol uniforms. Photographer Ejlat Feuer (b. 1950) documents the beauty, diversity, and cultural significance of the casitas, small structures built in community gardens located in New York’s Puerto Rican neighborhoods.
