Explore the art and mingle with curators Gilbert Vicario and Marissa Del Toro, as well as artists Liz Cohen, Julia Barbosa Landois, Marcos Raya, Sandy Rodriguez, Gabriela Ruiz, Tamara Santibañez, Linda Vallejo, and José Villalobos. The exhibition’s title is based on the term, Chicano, traditionally defined as an ethnic identity for Mexican Americans who embrace their indigenous ancestry.

The exhibition emerges at the intersection of experimental artistic practices dating back to the Chicano Movement’s key years in the 1960s and 1970s and embraces the work of artists who identify in myriad ways—including Mexican American, Chicana/o, Xicanx, Indigenous, Latinx, Black, Brown, and Queer. Before you explore the galleries, stop by Verde on our waterfront terrace for happy hour specials from 5–8pm.
