The art exhibit “Chicanx Landscapes” opens today at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College.
This exhibition explores landscapes as a system of ecology, history, culture, and belonging from a Chicanx perspective with new works presented by the interdisciplinary artist collaborative, Desert ArtLAB. Desert ArtLAB is an interdisciplinary artist collaborative co-directed by April Bojorquez (she/her) and Matthew Garcia (he/him) whose work promotes Indigenous perspectives on ecological practice and climate change. Bojorquez and Garcia were the 2022 Mellon Artists-in-Residence for the Fine Arts Center.
As part of the
events and programming celebrating the inauguration of CC’s 14th president, L. Song Richardson, admission to this exhibit is free on
Sunday, Aug. 28, for Community Day.
