This exhibition explores dialogues between the Chicano United States and Mexico— populations whose artistic production is often exhibited separately despite shared social and cultural circumstances. From mural movements to print workshops, Mexican and Chicano art is known for its emphasis on legible graphic communication as well as its social and political aims. The artists featured here playfully rework the tropes of this legacy by incorporating the signage that directs everyday life and the graphic elements of color, shape, and composition to explore complex social issues as well as formal pursuits. These works deal with transformative historical moments ranging from the post-revolutionary reforms of 1920s Mexico and the 1960s and 1970s undeclared Guerra Sucia (Dirty War) there to the workers’ rights and undocumented queer youth movements in the United States.

Leandro Muniz
We invited Leandro Muniz to write about the latest exhibition by Igi Lola Ayedún, artist and founder of the HOA gallery in Brazil. In the hatching of a dream, the materialization of the fantasy that has surrounded the artist in these last 6 years of artistic research is present.
