Esa otra mitad del cielo: Feminist Strategies in Post-1968 Mexican Art

Bringing together materials from the archives and collections of the Institute for Studies of Latin American Art (ISLAA), Esa otra mitad del cielo: Feminist Strategies in Post-1968 Mexican Art showcases the activities of the collective Polvo de Gallina Negra (1983–1993) alongside solo works by members Maris Bustamante and Mónica Mayer. The exhibition focuses on particular strategies of Polvo de Gallina Negra that combined social activism and radical humor.

Opening Reception: Thursday, December 4, 5pm to 7pm. More information here.

Esa otra mitad del cielo: Feminist Strategies in Post-1968 Mexican Art is co-curated by Alma Chaouachi, Mike Curran, Lila Gould, Bruna Grinsztejn, Gladys Lou, and Devon Ma, with generous guidance from professor and curator Mariano López Seoane. The exhibition and accompanying publication result from a graduate seminar at CCS Bard supported by ISLAA as part of the ISLAA Artist Seminar Initiative.
The ISLAA Artist Seminar Initiative supports graduate seminars on key figures and periods of Latin American art with a focus on living artists who participate in conversations with students or on historical figures represented in the ISLAA collection. Students collaborate to produce a public-facing exhibition that aims to expand art historical narratives and provide a platform for emerging curators.
