Pachucxs Revisited

January 21 – March 13, 2025

Reception: January 30, 2025 from 5:00-7:30pm

Pachucxs Revisited is a transgenerational celebration of the iconic Pachuca, a contested figure that disrupted tradition and gender expectations. The exhibition features ten diverse female-identified and non-binary artists, saluting the ever-evolving and lavish symbol – La Pachuca. The invited artists' practices challenge social, gender, and cultural conventions, defying ageism and amplifying cross-generational defiance and resistance to oppressions that individuals assigned as females at birth and women-identified continue to face. Channeling their inner Pachucx in this printmaking-based project, the artists unapologetically demonstrate their boldness through their image, body, culture, and color, asserting their place in the world.

Organized by Self Help Graphics & Art.

Exhibition Artists: Janeth Aparicio, Judy Baca, Yreina Cervantez, Amina Cruz, Ester Hernandez, Jackie Hernandez "Chicas Peligrosas," Priscilla Hernandez, Sandra de la Loza, Melba Martinez, Jaklin Romine.

Additional support provided by the Mike Curb College of Arts, Media, and Communication; Instructionally Related Activities Committee; and the Arts Council for CSUN.
