LITTLE RED NEST
The Little Red Nest is honored to present DE LA TIERRA SOMOS ¡NO SOMOS ILEGALES!, a solo exhibition by the internationally celebrated printmaker Carlos Barberena. Through striking relief prints that inspire action, Barberena’s work navigates the brutality of these times to insist on our shared humanity. His work reflects on the endless cycles of repression and resistance that mark his life from dictatorship to revolution, from erasure to renewal. Barberena notes, “I create to counteract the great silence around the interconnected repression occurring around the world. I believe we are all intimately connected.”
Carlos Barberena is a Contemporary Nicaraguan Printmaker best known for his powerful relief prints. In his art, Barberena has consistently reflected on the cycles of repression and resistance and its relationship to the Diaspora in which he has lived, throughout dictatorship, revolution, erasure, renewal, hope, dictatorship and repression. Barberena’s work is included in numerous public and private collections. He lives and works in Chicago, where he runs the printmaking projects: Bandolero Press & La Calaca Press. He is also a member of the Instituto Grafico de Chicago.

We invite you to join us for the opening reception. As a special takeaway, we will be live screen-printing free copies of two of Barberena's popular prints: ABOLISH ICE and DE LA TIERRA SOMOS ¡NO SOMOS ILEGALES!

Every day, hundreds of thousands of people cross borders. At these crossings, governments ask individuals to present papers for verification of migration status, documents that restrict entry to those individuals lucky enough to be verified by proof.
Picture
For migrants without papers, the mundane question “Show me your papers/ A ver, y tus papeles?” is not mundane, but rather an impossible interrogation that forces these individuals to risk their lives in an effort to avoid being verified. Having papers, therefore, becomes a matter of life or death.
Picture
This exhibition presents artists whose work on paper deals with issues of borders, migration, dual identity, as explored through print media.

Bonds of Kinship explores the many forms of familial connection—ancestral, intimate, chosen, and communal. Through diverse printmaking techniques, including relief, screen print, photogravure, lithography, cyanotype, and multimedia approaches, each artist delves into personal and collective narratives that honor the ties that shape identity and belonging. This selection of works from artists around the country reflects on the visible and invisible threads that link us across time, space, and diverse lived experiences.
