"Y TUS PAPELES? / VERIFIED BY PROOF" Curated by Miguel A. Aragón & Eddy López OPENING RECEPTION: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 4:30 PM - 6 PM The Art Gallery at the College of Staten Island, Center for the Arts, 1P-112 2800 Victory Boulevard, Staten Island, NY 10314 EXHIBIT RUNS: FEBRUARY, 3 - MARCH 7, 2025 CSI ART GALLERY CUNY 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. Exhibiting artists: Golnar Adili, Carlos Barberena, Adriana Barrios, Tulu Bayar, Pamela Dodds, J. Leigh Garcia, Marco Hernandez, Juana Estrada-Hernández, Eddy A. López, Emma Nishimura, Patricia Villalobos-Echevarría, Marco Sánchez "Power of the People: Art and Democracy"

Weyerhaeuser Curator of Prints, Harvard Art Museums JUROR'S LECTURE: OCTOBER 14, 1PM-2PM OPENING RECEPTION: OCTOBER 14, 2PM-5PM Open to Public: SEPTEMBER 22- DECEMBER 10, 2023 Tuesday - Saturday, 11:00am - 5:00pm 808 Gallery, Boston University, Boston, MA THE BOSTON PRINTMAKERS The Boston Printmakers will return to Boston University to celebrate its 75 th anniversary with the 2023 North American Print Biennial, after a 4-year hiatus. The BU Art Gallery will host the exhibition in the newly renovated 808 Gallery. The juror for the exhibition is Elizabeth Rudy, the Carl A. Weyerhaeuser Curator of Prints at the Harvard Art Museums. Dr. Rudy has selected 121 prints from 1800 entries for this exhibit. She writes, “The extraordinary talent typifying the Boston Printmakers’ history and legacy was palpable in the wide range of submissions to this year’s Biennial. The prints made by artists attracted to this international call are unanimously compelling and beautiful, expanding the perceived boundaries of the medium. Several themes emerged from the submissions; the strong focus on environmentalism, social justice, and portraiture illuminated the nuanced, critical contributions printmakers make to broader society’s conversations about current struggles and aspirations. It was a distinct honor to be the Juror for the 75 th anniversary of the organization, which has been such an important and vibrant hub of fine art printing in Boston for generations.”
The exhibit features a broad array of contemporary prints, spanning traditional to contemporary/integrated media approaches, with both emerging and established artists from across the U.S., Canada, and the Caribbean. Emerging from the pandemic, themes and imagery reflect the many personal and social concerns of artists across North America, as well as a vibrant vision of the future. In an extraordinary 75 years, the primary mission of The Boston Printmakers has been to create dynamic exhibitions and promote interest in the graphic arts. Founded in 1947, The Boston Printmakers reaches a large and diverse audience through the North American Print Biennial, national and international members' shows, and traveling exhibitions across North America. The North American Print Biennial awards $12,000 in purchase prizes and material awards. Founders’ Prizes are purchased for the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Art Complex Museum collections, and purchase prizes will go to The Boston Printmakers Collection at the Boston Public Library. For this anniversary year, two additional prints will be purchased for the Harvard Art Museums and the Boston Athenaeum, totaling 5 purchase awards. Along with the North American Print Biennial, The Boston Printmakers is celebrating the 75 th anniversary of their first exhibition with two additional shows at the 808 Gallery venue.

Though originally used as a classist and racist slur, by the 1940’s, Chicano was being reclaimed as a term of pride by Mexican Americans who have a non-Anglo self-image. The title of this exhibit, Borderline: Chicano Voices Speak, was intentionally chosen to engage those very discussions – racism, division, identity and cultural pride.
Borderline: Chicano Voices Speak will feature the voices of Mexican, Mexican-American, and Latino(a) artists whose work also expresses the immigrant experience. The word “borderline” also relates to multiple aspects of this exhibit – a physical division of countries, a social separation of cultural groups, and a psychic division of identities producing the ‘othering’ of people. This exhibit will feature Juan Fuentes, Carlos Barberena, Celeste de Luna, J. Leigh Garcia, Frank Estrada, Diego Marical Rios, Eugene Rodriguez, Fernando Marti, and Raoul Deal. Hours: Tuesday-Friday 9am-5pm; Saturday 10am-5 pm Admission: $5 for adults, $3 for students, Free for TVAA members |
