“No sabo kid” is a slang term for someone of Latino descent who does not speak Spanish very well or at all. In Spanish, the phrase “I don’t know” is “no se,” but a common way to say it wrong is “no sabo.” If you use the latter phrase, anyone who is fluent in Spanish will know that you are not. No Sabo is a group exhibition of nine artists who explore what it means to be a Latino/a/e/x who does not speak Spanish. How does one navigate cultural expectations, familial relationships, and self-identity when one is missing a key component of how Latinos are traditionally defined?
