FÁTIMA: AXKAUIA
@ Epiphany Center for the Arts
201 S Ashland Ave, Chicago, IL 60607
Opening Friday, June 17th, from 6PM - 9PM
On view through Saturday, July 30th
In the exhibition AXKAUIA, Chicago-based artist FÁTIMA lights up the Catacombs from June 10 to July 23 with sculptures made of neon and steel.
The AXKAUIA series represents the physical, mental and spiritual notions of abundance. Each piece is inspired by maize and what it represents. Maize has historically been a symbol of abundance in cultures across the Americas. Axkauia is a Nahuatl word (Nahuatl being one of the original Mexican languages) meaning to abound or of abundance. FÁTIMA is able to use these visual and linguistic references to maize as a tool to not only illuminate the room but also enlighten viewers. Connecting symbolism that honors her Mexican heritage with contemporary notions of culture, self and the spiritual, AXKAUIA invites you to take part in a world of abundance.
