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. www.carlosbarberena.com 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! Little Red Nest Chicago

Aragón & Eddy López EXHIBIT RUNS: AUGUST 19 - SEPTEMBER 20, 2025 CLOSING RECEPTION: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 5:00PM-8:00PM Albertine Monroe-Brown Gallery, Richmond Center for Visual Arts, Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo, MI ALBERTINE MONROE-BROWN GALLERY  "NO HUMAN IS ILLEGAL" Linocut on Shopping Bags by Carlos Barberena. 2020 Show Me Your Papers / A Ver, Y Tus Papeles? Curated by Eddy López, Associate Professor, Bucknell University and Miguel Aragón, Associate Professor, CUNY Staten Island. Featuring the works of Golnar Adili, Miguel A. Aragon, Carlos Barberena, Adriana Barrios, Tulu Bayar, Pamela Dodds, J. Leigh Garcia, Juana Estrada-Hernandez, Eddy A. López, Emma Nishimura, Patricia Villalobos-Echeverría, and Marco Sanchez.  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.  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.  This exhibition presents artists whose work on paper deals with issues of borders, migration, dual identity, as explored through print media.
