Born in 1943 to a Mexican immigrant family, Mesa-Bains is a leading figure in Chicanx art for nearly half a century, producing work that explores intersectional feminist themes, environmentally centered spirituality, and cultural diversity. Throughout the day, explore the exhibition with free gallery tours, and meet us in the Cafe on 104th Street for art activities, storytelling, and dance workshops.The block party (12-3:30) will be followed by a special concert in El Teatro, featuring Caña Dulce y Caña Brava presented by El Museo del Barrio in partnership with Carnegie Hall Citywide.
