Combining visual art and activism, the latest feature exhibition Xicanx: Dreamers + Changemakers / Soñadores + creadores del cambio is on display at the Museum of Anthropology at UBC through to the end of the year.
The artists in this exhibition are dreamers and changemakers. They are of Mexican American heritage — self-identified as Xicanx. The term transcends borders and gender to encompass the Xicanx people’s multigenerational experiences of social difference. Xicanx artists, working across all mediums, are part of a rich tradition of combining art with social justice.
This is the first major Xicanx group exhibition in Canada. There are 33 artists represented in the exhibition, from Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, New York and Texas. The work of a further 30 artists is showcased through mural projections in the exhibition.
One Tyee reader will win four passes to the Museum of Anthropology at UBC, redeemable until the closure of the Xicanx exhibition on Jan. 1, 2023. Enter to win below.
