Celebrate the new exhibition, Shifting Landscapes, by joining us for a fun and creative drawing game called Tripa Chuca. After playing the game, transform your creation into a unique work of art!
Tripa Chuca holds special significance for Shifting Landscapes artist Guadalupe Maravilla. Maravilla migrated to the United States as an eight-year-old, journeying on foot from El Salvador. His work in the exhibition includes a simplified map created centuries ago, illustrating the land he crossed. It incorporates Tripa Chuca, a drawing game deeply meaningful to him and central to many of his works.
Shifting Landscapes explores how changing political, environmental, and social issues inspire artists to reimagine the world. While landscapes traditionally depict beautiful, realistic scenes, this exhibition offers a more expansive view. The one hundred and twenty works by over eighty artists delve into the effects of industrialization, geopolitical borders, and the creation of imaginative, dreamlike spaces that challenge the concept of a “natural” world.
