The Acadia University Art Gallery is very pleased to present "Beyond La Llorona: Women & Resistance in Oaxacan Printmaking," curated by Dr. Laurie Dalton.
The exhibition focuses on the representation of lived experiences of women in contemporary Oaxacan society: from the labourers in the markets often seen as invisible, to calls to action for women’s rights, and in the creation of spaces in the city for the production and creation of art by women printmakers.
Over 40 works on paper selected from four leading studios (Amarte, Hoja Santa, La Productora Gráfica del Bosque, Subterráneos) reflect on the possibilities of art as a tool for social resistance: both in their subject matter, but also in the physical spaces they have created in the city: where the very act of creation is a political act in and of itself. The exhibition is the first large scale print exhibition of Mexican artists to be featured in the art gallery.
The exhibition will be on view from September 12 – December 5, 2024.
Please join us for an opening reception on Saturday September 14th, 7pm with opening remarks provided by Dr. Ashlee Cunsolo, Provost and Vice-President Academic. light refreshments will be served.
