Opens 6月 14—Through photography, sculpture, painting, installation, poetry, and more, Calli: The Art of Xicanx Peoples navigates the interwoven threads of intergenerational, feminist, queer, and Xicanx-Indigenous stories that offer ancestral forms of liberation, healing, and being.
Inspired by the Calli Americas collections of late queer Chicana activist and professor Margaret “Margie” Terrazas Santos, the exhibition collectively represents a Calli, or “Xicanx home” that holds the sacred stories of Xicanx peoples from past to present day.
Calli layers multiple artistic perspectives, featuring posters from Santos’ collection in conversation with contemporary works by Xicanx artists using a variety of mediums, from which we can imagine new possibilities for the future.
