New Mestizx Opening Reception

Friday, May 24, 2019 • 6PM-9PM
Accion Latina’s Juan R. Fuentes Gallery
2958 24th Street, San Francisco


We are incredibly pleased to present New Mestizx a new group exhibition, curated by Sami Schilf, exploring the intersections of cultural identity in the Bay Area.

Featuring art by: Alyssa Aviles • Cecilia Cassandra • Harvey Lozada • HyphyWyphy • Joe Ramos • Malaya Tuya • Monica Magtoto • Kate Dash • Pinay Liminality • Pinxy’s Rising by Nickel Rivera and Narce Guinto • Sami See • Tito Gavina

Curatorial Statement
New Mestizx celebrates transcultural hybridity, exploring what emerges when cultural identities, histories, and people intersect in the Bay Area. The works on view reflect the experience of twelve artists of Filipinx and Latinx heritage living in between worlds as they navigate their identity through the lens of New Mestizx, a term inspired by writer Gloria Anzaldúa. Through photography, mixed media, prints, paintings, textile, and audio installations, artists explore how gentrification, motherhood, transnational migration and intergenerational transmission of culture informs how they choose to remember or redefine traditions.

Curator Biography
Sami Schilf is a digital artist, muralist, and emerging curator whose work centers in the lived experience of hybridity. As a second generation mestiza (or ‘tisay’ in Tagalog) born in San Francisco, her work plays with the tension between disassociation and reclamation of cultural identity, history, and inheritance.
