Visiones de Guadalupe: Artist Talk
@ National Museum of Mexican Art
1852 W 19th St, Chicago, IL 60608
Opening Saturday, December 21st, at 2PM
Join us at the National Museum of Mexican Art for an artist talk and art market in conjunction with the Ruidosa Art Collective’s exhibition, Visones de Guadalupe.
Visiones de Guadalupe, now on display at the Pilsen Arts & Community House, is the Ruidosa Art Collective’s third annual exhibition on La Virgen de Guadalupe and celebrates the anniversary of her apparitions on the Hill of Tepeyac in what is now the suburbs of Mexico City, as well as her place in Mexican identity and faith. The work of each artist in the exhibition depicts La Virgen de Guadalupe or alludes to concepts that are associated with her, including chicanismo, motherhood, femininity, and/or Mexicanidad.
Artist Talk

Multidisciplinary Artist, Rayos Magos will share details related to her artwork “Tonantzin offers Maíz at Tepeyac”, a digital illustration that depicts a modernized version of Tonantzin the Aztec mother Earth goddess with a modern twist.
Transdisciplinary Artist Nancy Sanchez Tamayo will discuss the subjects of femininity, nurture, and deconstructing patriarchal constructs of La Virgen De Guadalupe
