Solo exhibit: “Imagenes de Nepantla”

  • Where: at the Art Base, Basalt, CO
  • When: February 7th, 2025 – March 7th, 2025
  • Opening reception and talk Friday February 14th, 5 – 7 PM

Description: Nepantla lives in the traditions, politics, and complexities of Chicano/Mexican American community. My work focuses on themes of identity, traditions, culture, memory, and struggle. It is furthermore a celebration of culture and history of Chicanos/Mexican Americans. They physically, emotionally, and spiritually live between the clash of two cultures, one Mexican and one American. They must cross a border---not the actual Mexican and U.S. border but the subsequent cultural values that exists between these two cultures.
