 "TINTA ARDIENTE! Igniting Community Through Collective Action" EXHIBIT RUNS: OCTOBER 16, 2026 - FEBRUARY 21, 2027. OPENING RECEPTION: FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 6:00PM-8:00PM. Xicágo Gallery, National Museum of Mexican Art, 1852 W 19th St. Chicago, IL 60608. NATIONAL MUSEUM OF MEXICAN ART Bound by a shared vision and supportive network, Instituto Gráfico de Chicago (IGC) embraces printmaking as a tool for education and activism. Since 2010, this volunteer collective has amplified the work of contemporary Latinx print artists through collaborative portfolios and exhibitions. Simultaneously, IGC’s Grabadolandia, the only free printmaking festival led by a Latinx collective in the Midwest, ensures the medium's vitality by fueling new artists and community-led initiatives. This exhibition brings together selections from IGC’s print collection, objects, event documentation, and traces of print histories from Mexico and Chicago, presented alongside works from the NMMA’s Permanent Collection. Together, these works create an evolving archive of learning, resistance, and exchange—held together through the language of print. Con una visión compartida y una sólida red de colaboración, el Instituto Gráfico de Chicago (IGC) entiende el grabado como una herramienta para la educación y el activismo. Desde 2010, este colectivo de voluntarios ha promovido el trabajo de artistas contemporáneos Latinx mediante portafolios colaborativos y exposiciones. Entre estas iniciativas se encuentra Grabadolandia, el único festival gratuito de grabado dirigido por un colectivo Latinx en el Medio Oeste, el cual contribuye a mantener vivo este medio al impulsar a nuevas generaciones de artistas y fomentar iniciativas comunitarias. Esta exposición reúne piezas de la Colección Permanente del NMMA, junto con una selección de grabados de la colección del IGC, objetos, documentación de eventos y otros materiales relacionados con la historia del grabado en México y Chicago. En conjunto, estas obras conforman un archivo vivo de aprendizaje, resistencia e intercambio, unido por el lenguaje del grabado.

OPENING RECEPTION: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 6PM-8PM | LIVE SCREEN PRINTING | FREE Little Red Nest, 5456 N Ashland St. Chicago, IL 60640. 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. 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.
