“Finding Your Voice is the culmination of a WFMA Community Project in collaboration with Café Con Leche founder Gonzalo Robles. Café Con Leche is a local organization that champions parents seeking higher education for their children and creating a “Culture of High Expectations” at home.” 

“Featuring works by Gaby Berglund Cardenas, Guadalupe Hernandes, Lorena Morales and Graciela Paz. 

Artists were selected by a group of college-bound high school students of Café Con Leche, under the direction of WFMA curator Danny Bills. With themes that give voice to the students’ lived experiences, this exhibition reveals how art connects to and helps communicate who we are.  

Student co-curators met weekly with Bills for seven months developing themes, selecting artworks, and designing an exhibition to find and share our “Voice.”  Through the project, students gained exposure to art and culture, vocational awareness in the museum field, and experience to excel in higher education.  

Finding Your Voice invites you to celebrate and learn about Hispanic, Latino, and Chicano art alongside the young people of Café Con Leche. See how artists use visual language to share personal experiences of cultural identity that contribute to the human family. In the process, we invite you to embrace the unique elements of heritage that have shaped you.”

More information about the program in the museum’s homepage. The exhibition was also featured in Glasstire, Texas visual art magazine.

En-tropy exhibition will be included in GIBCA Extended as part of their program.

“We’re delighted to bring the Bristol Artists Book Event (BABE) back to Arnolfini. Due to ongoing Covid restrictions, it won’t be quite the same sort of big, crowded book fair that we’re used to but we are still able to bring you work by over 160 book artists and small publishers from around the world, online over the weekend.

Ranging from recorded talks from Australia to Mexico about international collections and exhibitions, through documentation of printing processes, to book-based performances and experimental short films, this is an amazing set of creative responses to what ‘digitising a book’, or ‘online reading’ might mean.

The films are available to view here from the 16 April 2021.” (Extract from the press release)

‘PRINTS, BOOKS AND SOLITARY THINGS’ 

‘In this exhibition, the artist presents a series of etchings, artist’s books and objects made during the pandemic. Whether performing, making installations, objects, prints or artist’s books, the repetitive aspect of her process becomes a meditative ritual to explore the elemental uncertainty of time, space and being or social inequities with regard to gender, migrations or race. Thread, ink, fabric, metal and handmade paper are used in metaphorical ways, while honoring sustainability.

Cárdenas’ process involves mindful rituals of repetition and flow, which suggest dichotomies of sacred and profane, East and West, lightness and weight, creating and erasing.‘

A cryptic question appears in which each video is a visual puzzle in and of itself.

The concept and edit, developed by the artist Isolde Kille (Timespecific), is creating a collage in film in order to offer an important clue for understanding the microcosm that each artist is describing in their own visual language. Above all, the collaborative film suggests an unadulterated sense of being in the moment, the pursuit of a self momentarily, yet perfectly suspended, during the time of the international pandemic.

36 artists from Germany, Latvia, Indonesia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Norway, and the US contributed their individual video scenes.
