Join us on Wednesday, July 1 from 5:30-6:30 pm for a members-only tour of Sandy Rodriguez: Tierra Insurgente, led by the exhibition Co-Curator and Senior Educator Ryan Pinchot. Please note that this tour is for members only. If you’re not a member yet, you can join here. Please RSVP to the tour here.

This is the first New York City solo exhibition by Los Angeles–based Chicana artist Sandy Rodriguez. The exhibition brings Rodriguez’s contemporary practice into dialogue with rarely exhibited maps, manuscripts, globes, and codices from the Hispanic Society’s historic collection. Rodriguez works on handmade amate bark paper using natural pigments derived from minerals, plants and insects, as her art is rooted in Indigenous Mesoamerican tlacuilo (painter-scribe) traditions. Her paintings, maps and codices collapse centuries of history into a single visual field, connecting early anticolonial uprisings with contemporary struggles around migration, policing, racial justice, and climate crisis.
