“(in)visible: Nepantla” Exhibit Opening

Employing a wide variety of artistic expressions, Kandy G Lopez examines the notion of in-betweenness as it refers to navigating cultures, experiences, and adverse environments by individuals or communities who have been marginalized or forcibly displaced. In the Nahuatl language, Nepantla relates to the resistance practices formed in response to living in oppressive conditions. People develop strategies for survival that can include cultural preservation, maintaining traditions, or creating new forms of identity to withstand the pressures of assimilation or conquest.

Curated by Tayina Deravile, (in)visible: Nepantla magnifies the people who cross boundaries and facilitate passage between worlds. Entry is free!
