The Great Wall of Chinga



This exhibit hopes to compare the similarity or distinction of Mexican and Chicano Artistas sharing life experiences yet distinctly juxtaposed in variant political worlds. With certain common bicultural traits as most border towns reflect this social phenomenon. This border phenomenon has existed historically in many cultures and early civilizations.

The border is a ‘Wall of Chinga (a colloquial term of abuse)’ because it has been the cause of much civic consternation. Some of the artificial and superficial elements of this interaction have made some unfortunate and deleterious misunderstandings. Artists by their assessments in their ‘obras’ help give visual articulations to some of those notions and proffered resolutions.

The turmoil and discord is met with diverse responses from the artists herein the gallery. Comparing these social realities make for the artistic responses which are displayed in this exhibition.


There are thirty artists from both countries.
