Event Description SEPTEMBER 26 - OCTOBER 13, 2022. MARIA DE LOS ANGELES ARTIST TALK: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 10 - 11 AM NEW GALLERY HOURS: M, T, W, TH, 12 – 5 PM. Maria de Los Angeles is an artist and professor of painting at Yale School of Art. In Lak’ech: Tu eres me otro yo (You are my other me) invokes a Mayan concept popularized by Chicano playwright Luis Valdez. This affirmation reflects a philosophy of caring and connecting with the human spirit of one another. This idea sets the tone for this two-person exhibit at the San Diego Mesa College Art Gallery to celebrate Latinx Heritage Month. Through evocative paintings, wearable dress sculptures and drawings, artist Maria de Los Angeles connects with America’s multiple selves: those of the immigrant, the refugee, the undocumented, the indigenous. She questions and breaks down racist stereotypes and tackles otherness and the concept of belonging.
