This exhibition features Latina artists from California and New York. As we continue to support and celebrate our
Latino culture at Arte Americas, it becomes necessary to explore the diverse people
within this root heritage. This show will examine, reveal and highlight the voices of
Latinas. Voices that express feelings, ideas, issues and/or politics that may go unheard or
hidden within the larger community.
The exhibit title, “Double Edged Sword” acts as a metaphor; for the two edges of the
continent (Americas) these artists reside and work, and the danger that each edge may
represent when we open ourselves to the messages and expressions these works contain.
