“The Bones of Our Ancestors":
Endurance and Survival Beyond Serra’s Mission(s)
MCCLA main gallery 2nd floor. Gallery hours: Tuesday-Saturday 10am-5pm.
$2 Exhibit: October 16 - November 20, 2015
This exhibition reinterprets the theme of Dia de los Muertos to memorialize the endurance and survival of
Indigenous Peoples and protest the recent canonization of Junipero Serra by Pope Francis of the Catholic
Church.
Curators Celia Herrera Rodriguez (artist) and Theresa Harlan have selected 15 artists to create bold works
to present an indigenous (i.e., Native American) response to the aftermath of Serra’s mission building and
to call attention to the continued persistence of indigenous peoples across the Americas. The exhibition
spans photography, installations, animation, painting, prints, and a mural.
Artists: Dugan Aguilar, Jesús Barraza, Melanie Cervantes, Juan Fuentes, Tricia Jameson-Rainwater, Jean LaMarr, John J. Leaños, L. Frank Manriquez, Cherrie L. Moraga, Celia Herrera Rodriguez, Jessica Sabogal, Kanyon Sayers-Roods, Alicia Bernal Siu, Hulleah Tsinhnahjinnie, and Fan Warren.
Also, MCCLA is proud to announce that in honor of Day of the Dead we will screen the trailer for the documentary Searching for Posada--ART and Revolutions, by award winning director Victor Mancilla, plus two short clips from the director's new Dia de los Muertos film currently in production.
The full film, Searching for Posada--ART and Revolutions will screen on Friday November 20. Director, Victor Mancilla and film producers Jim Nikas and Maryanne Brady are scheduled to appear for Questions and Answers at the November 20 screening.
Opening reception: November 2 / 6 pm - 11pm
$7 Free hot chocolate and pan de muerto will be provided.
