This exhibition features three San Francisco Bay Area artists sharing Mexican roots and presents their perspectives on issues related to the immigrant population:
  • Ylan Luna, a self-taught artist who was raised in Oaxaca, Mexico, creates artwork that shows the suffering caused by political corruption in his hometown, and the activist spirit that resulted from it.
  • Efrén Alvarez presents from firsthand experience the various challenges and hardships faced by undocumented immigrants: the dangers of crossing the border, the long separation from their families, and the prejudiced stereotypes which negatively affect their lives.
  • Elizabeth Jiménez Montelongo, born in the United States after her parents emigrated from Mexico, paints colorful scenes of indigenous Mesoamerican ritual dance, also known as “Aztec Dance.” The ritual dances are an important and symbolic part of Mexican heritage which are now practiced on both sides of the border due to immigration.
