Printmaking and the Political

Thursday, May 12, 2022 - 4:30 PM

Enjoy a glass of wine as you tour the exhibition with The Museum’s curators.
 
Dolores Vega, Resource and Advocacy Supervisor at the Hunger Coalition and the subject of a portrait in the exhibition, will also join the tours, along with SVMoA Intern Maria Mendoza. The Mexican Graphic Tradition explores the history and politics of printmaking in Mexico, from the work of 19th-c. artist José Guadalupe Posada and the printmakers of the Taller de Gráfica Popular to prints by contemporary Mexican and Mexican American printmakers. The exhibition illustrates the powerful role the Mexican graphic tradition has played in shaping political discourse and the ways that contemporary artists use that legacy now.

This event takes place Thu, May 12, from 4:30–5:20pm.
