SUMMARY:Leading the Camino: Latinx Art by Juan de Dios Mora and Consuelo J
 imenez Underwood
LOCATION:Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art (JSMA) Fay Boyer Preble and Virgin
 ia Cooke Murphy Wing\, 1430 Johnson Lane\, Eugene\, OR 97403
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Leading the Camino: Latinx Art by Juan de Dios 
 Mora and Consuelo Jimenez Underwood\, features prints and textiles by Mor
 a and Jimenez Underwood that question borders and embrace living in the “
 borderlands.” Mora adopts figuration and humor to resist homogenization a
 nd contest political rhetoric that criminalizes immigrants. He employs Sp
 anglish and popular motifs such as piñatas\, luchadores masks\, and Mesoa
 merican iconography to reflect his lived experiences and connect cultures
  across time and space. In his print Leading the Camino Maya and Aztec sy
 mbols are juxtaposed with tacos and technology exemplifying Gloria Anzald
 úa’s notion of the borderlands or sites where a variety of traditions\, l
 anguages\, and ways of being come into contact\, overlapping and interact
 ing\, to nourish and inform each other. Jimenez Underwood embraces textil
 es to similarly cross borders and honor her hybrid identity as Chicana\, 
 Mexicana\, Americana\, Indigenous\, woman\, and artist. Her artworks brid
 ge art and craft to examine geo-political barriers and weave together bod
 ies and traditions from past and present.\n\nThe exhibition is curated by
  Adriana Miramontes Olivas\, Curator of Academic Programs and Latin Ameri
 can and Caribbean Art.\n\nhttp://next-to-u.app/events/4c5874b9-87de-472f-
