"BORDERLINE: CHICANO VOICES SPEAK" OPENING RECEPTION: AUGUST 23, 5PM-8PM Open to Public: AUGUST 22, 2023 - SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 TENNESSEE VALLEY MUSEUM OF ART The word ‘Chicano(a)’ was first used as a derogatory term used towards lower income Mexicans living in the United States. 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 Carlos Cortéz 100 AÑOSRUBIN & PAULA TORRES GALLERY OPENING RECEPTION: SUNDAY, AUGUST 13, 2:00PM - 4:00PM Open to Public: AUGUST 13, 2023 - FEBRUARY 18, 2024 NATIONAL MUSEUM OF MEXICAN ART This centennial exhibition celebrates the legacy of Carlos Cortéz Koyokuikatl (1923-2005), one of Chicago’s most important social justice artists working in the 20th century. Often a poet, often a printmaker, but always an activist, Cortéz’s life’s work uplifted the working class, marginalized communities, and social struggles by depicting scenes of labor disputes, protests, and ignored historical events and individuals. Carlos Cortéz, an artist, poet, labor journalist, citizen activist, conscientious objector and Elder in his community, would have been 100-years-old in August 2023. He continues to hold an exceptionally dear place in the hearts of many artists and organizers, and in the history of the National Museum of Mexican Art. Cortéz used his printing press, Gato Negro, as a means to communicate messages of justice, activism, and solidarity, while his poetry repeatedly aimed to raise awareness, provoke thought, and inspire action regarding issues of inequality and oppression. The National Museum of Mexican Art is honored to be the steward of the Carlos Cortéz Archives. Curated by Cesáreo Moreno Participating Artists

ESSENTIAL: For Your Colonizer Comfort series by Carlos BarberenaBarberena Statement "I create to counteract great silences, demystifying “foreign” experience, bridging the distances and bringing awareness to the ways our lives are intimately connected through the lens of justice. Closest to me are ways migrants’ humanity—our memories, attachments, relationships and traumas— is swept aside leaving visible only our work value. In these prints, I honor the farmworkers, most undocumented, whom the US population & Federal government labeled “Essential” in the context of COVID, a so-called honor for their centrality to the food system, while doing little to alleviate their lack of basic rights and vulnerability to exploitation and imminent deportation".
