Propuestas Postfronterizas/ Postborder Proposals

I'd like to invite you to Postborder Proposals/Propuestas Postfronterizas, opening at the BoatHouse Gallery at Plaza de la Raza on May 9th at 4pm. 
POSTBORDER PROPOSALS / PROPUESTAS POSTFRONTERIZAS is a convening of artists working on both sides of the U.S./Mexico border as well as young artists from as far away as the Middle East. Their work considers the complex dynamics of border areas and liminal spaces, and engages the experience of displacement and immigration. The works in this art exhibition provide a doorway into cultural, sociological, and geographic spaces marked by hybridity, and their proposals move away from the simple binaries outlined by immigration and foreign policy and essentialist platforms. 

PARTICIPATING ARTISTS AND COLLECTIVES:

AjA Project, Boredom Patrol (C.I.R.C.A./San Diego), Colectivo La Linea, Ingrid Hernandez, Esteban Martinez, Juana Meneses, Roberto Romero-Molina, Omar Pimienta and Evelyn Serrano

The exhibition will take place at Plaza de la Raza’s iconic Boathouse Gallery. In addition to the gallery hours noted above, the exhibition will be open to the public during and after all performances of the CAP/Plaza de la Raza Youth Theater Program “behind barbed wire” at the Margo Albert Theater in Plaza de la Raza (for information about these performances please contact Plaza de la Raza at 323.223.2475)
