Abrigo
Abrigo is a Spanish noun that primarily means a coat or overcoat, or a refuge. It refers to warm clothing, protection against the elements, or figuratively, a place of safety. In a global context of indiscriminate and systematic destruction of life-sustaining conditions, we continue to center collectivity and mutual care through words, sounds, images, materials, and foundational technologies that depend on entanglement and interconnectedness.
Abrigo features painting, textile sculpture, poetry, sound and film.

While citizens and non-citizens face uncertainty, we feel empowered by the strength of our diversity. Inspired by a rock en Español song, the exhibition brings together Latinx artists from different backgrounds. In the spirit of resilience, we make friends with the metaphor of the weed that refuses erasure. Because mala hierba nunca muere.
Malahierba features painting, ceramics, sculpture, poetry, and film.

Cartographic features works on paper, installation, sculpture, textiles, video, drawing and poetry.
In that Empire, the Art of Cartography attained such Perfection that the map of a single Province occupied an entire City, and the map of the Empire, an entire Province. In time, these Excessive Maps did not satisfy and the Schools of Cartographers built a Map of the Empire, that was of the Size of the Empire, and which coincided point for point with it. Less Addicted to the Study of Cartography, the Following Generations understood that that dilated Map was Useless and not without Pitilessness they delivered it to the Inclemencies of the Sun and the Winters. In the Deserts of the West endure broken Ruins of the Map, inhabited by Animals and Beggars; in the whole country there is no other relic of the Disciplines of Geography.
