About the Exhibition

The exhibit features 59 works produced by 32 printmakers demonstrating the social and political struggles migrants face and the resilient cultural neighborhood they created. Generations of printmakers have used ink and paper to capture the experience and conditions that brought waves of Mexican migrants to the city. The exhibition highlights the rich history of printmaking and its role in shaping a community's collective identity.
