Desplazado y desarraigado, estereotipado y separado por la narrativa de la clase dominante.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>El t\u00edtulo de esta exposici\u00f3n consta de dos partes que unen los conceptos de lo no hablado y lo no visto. Ideas m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de nuestros sentidos. Un concepto dual que equilibra y arraiga nuestros entendimientos tradicionales sobre la realidad contempor\u00e1nea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cada artista en esta exhibici\u00f3n implementa su trabajo para dar voz a perspectivas usualmente ausentes de los entendimientos comunes sobre nuestras experiencias y realidades vividas. En cada uno de sus trabajos vemos manifestadas metodolog\u00edas para existir al centro de una cultura de apropiaci\u00f3n y desaparici\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cada artista en esta exhibici\u00f3n fue invitade a compartir su voz aut\u00e9ntica, y trabajo que sent\u00edan urgencia de mostrar. Con eso en mente, como co-curadores, nos propusimos estar informades y sorprendides por les artistas en el proceso de seleccionar los trabajos. Esperamos que el p\u00fablico experimente el enfoque de esta exhibici\u00f3n con el cuidado y respeto con el que los trabajos fueron producidos y seleccionadas para la misma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Les invitamos a que tomen su tiempo y les invitamos a nuestros espacios como familia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>~ Angennette Escobar &amp; v. maldonado<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Co-Curator Statement<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Dedicated to our ancestral grandmothers; in their loving memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our hope and goal in organizing this group exhibition is to humanize and make visible the complex beauty and wisdom of Latinx people and culture. A diasporic people shaped by Empire, colonization, and capitalism. Moved and displaced, stereotyped and separated by the narrative of the ruling class.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The title of this exhibition is in two parts that conjoin the concepts of the unspoken and that which is unseen. Ideas beyond our senses. A dual concept that balances and grounds traditional understanding with contemporary reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each artist in the exhibition deploys their respective work to give voice to perspectives usually missing from common understanding of our lived experiences and daily lives. In each of their works we see manifest methodologies for existing amidst a culture of appropriation and erasure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each of the artists in the exhibition were invited to share their authentic voice and to share work they felt was urgent to see. With that in mind, as co-curators, we set out to be informed and surprised by the artists in the process of selecting the works. We hope that audiences experiencing this exhibition approach it with the care and respect in which the works were produced and selected for exhibit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We actively encourage you to take your time and invite you into our spaces like family.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>~ Angennette Escobar &amp; v. maldonado<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On view in the Main Gallery July 16 &#8211; September 5, 2026.
