Calli layers multiple artistic perspectives, featuring posters from late queer Chicana activist and professor Margaret "Margie" Terrazas Santos' collection in conversation with contemporary works by Xicanx artists who expand the horizons of possibility, inspiring reflection and fostering dialogue about a world in which we can all belong.
Discover exhibition highlights by featured artists including:rafa esparza's adobe Mesoamerican stylized temple installation; Consuelo Jimenez Underwood's site-specific Borderline installation conveying U.S.-Mexico border issues such as land commodification, militarization, dehumanization, and its ecological effects; Gina Aparicio's ceramic and earth-based installation with audio composed by musician Joe Galarza, a member of Aztlan Underground, and Melanie Cervantes' soft sculpture installation of the Aztec moon goddess, Coyolxauhqui.
