Visiones de Guadalupe: Artist Talk

December 21, 2024, 2:00 pm National Museum of Mexican Art

Join us at the National Museum of Mexican Art for an artist talk and art market in conjunction with the Ruidosa Art Collective’s exhibition, Visones de Guadalupe.

Visiones de Guadalupe, now on display at the Pilsen Arts & Community House, is the Ruidosa Art Collective’s third annual exhibition on La Virgen de Guadalupe and celebrates the anniversary of her apparitions on the Hill of Tepeyac in Mexico City, as well as her place in Mexican identity and faith. The work of each artist in the exhibition depicts La Virgen de Guadalupe or alludes to concepts that are associated with her, including chicanismo, motherhood, femininity, and/or Mexicanidad.

Artist Talk
The National Museum of Mexican Art will host an artist talk from 2-4 pm featuring three speakers:

  • Stephanie Herrera, Visiones De Guadalupe curator will talk about the inspiration that has led to this annual recurring exhibition.
  • Multidisciplinary Artist, Rayos Magos will share details related to her artwork “Tonantzin offers Maíz at Tepeyac”, a digital illustration that depicts a modernized version of Tonantzin the Aztec mother Earth goddess with a modern twist.
  • Transdisciplinary Artist Nancy Sanchez Tamayo will discuss the subjects of femininity, nurture, and deconstructing patriarchal constructs of La Virgen De Guadalupe 

La Tiendita
