The exhibition "Sunday Walk to the Zócalo of Oaxaca" is a multi-media artistic response to the popular revolt and resistance that unfolded in Oaxaca in 2006 and the first traveling solo exhibition outside of Mexico for artist Gabriela León. Some of the elements of the exhibition consist of a "barricade dress" made of barbed-wire, tire treads and mattress springs found amidst the detritus; a video projection of the artist wearing the dress walking among protestors and police; a sound installation that evokes the voices of the crowds; and tarps inspired by the temporary living structures during the lengthy protest.

The exhibit will be at Sesnon Gallery (2nd floor of Porter College) at UC Santa Cruz until March 8th. An opening reception on took place on January 29th followed by an artist talk at Oakes 105, UC Santa Cruz. Read More and View Photos
