聚焦周日:探索围绕艺术与实践的跨代墨西哥裔对话
一月 21 from 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Join us for an open forum discussion where artists from OMCA’s latest special exhibition, Por el Pueblo, along with other community members come together to unpack issues around intergenerationality in Chicanx art and practice.
The panelists will include Malaquías Montoya along with Por el Pueblo artists Elyse Doyle-Martinez, Israel Campos and Juan Fuentes. The conversation will be moderated by the Director of the Mission Cultural Center, Martina Ayala.
There will be a call-to-action table with resources and a representative from the organization Brown Issues. Through civic engagement and narrative change, Brown Issues fosters youth in becoming change agents by advocating for healing processes and the mobilization of the next generation of Brown leaders.
This program is a part of our exhibition programming for Por el Pueblo: The Legacy and Influence of Malaquías Montoya on view at OMCA through 6月 30, 2024.

A UC Davis Professor Emeritus, Malaquias Montoya is credited by historians as one of the founders of the social serigraphy movement in the San Francisco Bay Area in the mid-1960s. He has lectured and taught at numerous colleges and universities including Stanford, UC Berkeley, the California College of Art, the University of Notre Dame, and the University of Texas, San Antonio. Montoya’s unique visual expression is an art of protest, depicting the resistance and strength of humanity in the face of injustice and the necessity to unite behind that struggle. Montoya is co-founder of Taller Arte del Nuevo Amanecer, a community-based art center in Woodland, where he continues to teach. In 2011, the UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center published a full-length monograph about Montoya and his work.
