Gabriela León Vázquez gave an artist talk at UC Santa Cruz on January 29th about her exhibition at UCSC's Sesnon Gallery, Sunday Walk to the Zócalo of Oaxaca (Paseo dominical por el Zócalo de Oaxaca). She was born in Cuautla, Morelos, Mexico in 1973, and is currently living and working in Oaxaca. The exhibition, on display until March 8th, is a multi-media artistic response to the popular revolt and resistance that unfolded in Oaxaca in 2006 and 2007, including photos from the Peoples' Guelaguetza (la Guelaguetza Popular) on July 16th, 2007. The exhibition was organized by UC Riverside Sweeney Art Gallery and curated by director Tyler Stallings.
