 Alum\n\n\nCurated by Samu Cortez, Trueque Pt. I showcases the work of eight 
 artists from the Bay Area and Mexico to imagine reciprocal systems of 
 exchange beyond the lens of our current capitalist paradigm. 
 \n\nOftentimes, when we think about exchange, we think about an equal 
 monetary trade for goods. But what are the implications when exchange 
 happens without following the guidelines of that system? What happens, when 
 alternatively, there is an exchange of memories, cultures, feelings, shared 
 knowledge, or physical goods with others?\n\nIn Spanish, Trueque means 
 “the non-capitalist exchange of goods or an exchange beyond currency.” 
 This exhibition focuses on the capacity of exchange outside of a capitalist 
 system to create new and shared ideas, as well as shared collective spaces. 
 Inspired by the guidelines of the artist collective Aguas Migrantes, 
 Trueque will highlight the production of this alternative system through 
 the lens of artistic practices by Latinx and immigrant artists both here in 
 the Bay Area and in Mexico.\n\nTrueque Pt. I will be on view in our online 
 gallery from January 7 - 25, 2021 and paves the way for  Trueque Pt. II 
 which will explore exchange across boundary and border, in real time and 
 space, coming in 2022.\n\n\nLearn more about the exhibition, workshops, &
