Hispanic Festival Community Message

Ancient Voices, Modern Tools is based on myths, symbols, and motifs of the indigenous people of the Americas translated into a modern context via traditional and computerized painting techniques. Even though the native tribes were the first to encounter the Europeans, their artwork, symbols, myths, and traditions are some of the least known. The artist’s work is a personal, visual translation of the surviving oral traditions and symbols.

* This exhibition runs Sep. 22–Nov. 1, with a public reception on Sat., Sep. 27. *

To the Core is a dual exhibition featuring former Artomatic president and installation artist Veronica Szalus, alongside Colombian-born MICA graduate and figurative painter Lillian Jacobson. This exhibition explores the concept of being “to the core,” whether through personal identity, storytelling, or individual beliefs. To Jacobson, it means to explore a feeling of belonging within a culture and growing up amongst an ethnicity vastly different from her own. Additionally, the show examines our interconnected relationship to our communities through consumption and conservation, sparking conversations about the far-ranging benefits of repurposing materials, both individually and collectively, to address local and global environmental challenges.
