JANUARY 29 2019 - MAY 5, 2019 OPENING RECEPTION: SUNDAY, JANUARY 27, 2018, 2:00 - 4:00 PM
I am very honored and excited to be chosen to be part of the upcoming group exhibition: Xicanx Futurity. The opening celebration will be held at 2p-4p on Sunday, January, 27 with food, performance and a panel discussion with six artists: Celia Herrera Rodríguez, Felicia “Fe” Montes, Gina Aparicio, Gilda Posada, Melanie Cervantes and Margaret “Quica” Alarcon.
I've known, worked and prayed with some of these women for over 20 years and the installation experience at the museum became a deeper cultural exchange for us, so I wanted to share some images of this process. I laughed & cried during this experience and the opening is 2 weeks away! I hope you are able to visit and see the show. It is a good mix of media with meaningful, layered narratives and what Karen Nikos-Rose describes as "...indigenous forms of communal and hemispheric ceremony, rooted in sacred practices."
