Xicanx: Dreamers + Changemakers / Soñadores + creadores del cambio features over 30 artists of Mexican American heritage—self-identified as Xicanx. The artists, working across all mediums, are part of a rich tradition of combining visual art and activism. Some began their work as part of El Movimiento, the Chicano civil rights movement of the 1960s and 1970s that had its roots in the United States. Others define themselves as Indigenous, drawing upon their origins in Aztlán, the ancestral homeland referenced in Mexican códices and oral histories. The next generation is expanding the idea of Xicanx art while continuing to address the personal, social and political issues of our times.

For tweens and teens. School groups welcome, best suited for Grades 6-10.

Registration required.
