A group exhibition that brings together 18 artists whose works confront the legacies of colonization, migration, and labor, stories that continue to shape Latinx life across generations.

The Land That Stays With Us

Memory doesn’t disappear, it travels. The works here move between childhood landscapes, family histories, and dreamlike visions shaped by distance.

David Enriquez reimagines Oaxacan mountains, legends, and memory through intimate paintings shaped by migration and loss.

“When I was a child, “ir à la siembra,” meant going to the county to tend the fields and also spending time together as a family. Cooking fresh meals and sitting on the grass. It was like a celebration of nature held within nature itself.”

— David Enriquez

Dominique Muñoz stages portraits inside childhood homes, using patterned blankets to explore family, queerness, and place.

Two works mark the moment of crossing.

Cesar Pita reflects the uncertainty of arrival in ¿Y ahora qué?

José Soria reveals the emotional and economic weight carried during migration in The Weight of Flowers.

“My roots were laid and pressed into the soil of California’s Central Valley, where my family planted not only crops, but memory. Through years of working in the fields and poultry factories, my grandparents built a life grounded in resilience.

Those memories continue to fuel my practice. Through them, my grandparents’ gestures of care live on, and the seeds they planted continue to grow through me and my work.”

— José Soria

Home is not left behind—it moves with us.

Roots in motion

Identity is built through repetition, care, and labor. These works focus on rebuilding life in motion.

Audrey Rodríguez places fruit on subway tracks, echoing the movement and constraint of street vendors.

“Siembra is about intention and endurance, placing something into the world with care, even without guarantees. Both of my works titled Danger– No Clearance speak to thresholds and restricted spaces, to being warned away while still choosing to occupy and claim space. Siembra is not only about beginnings, but about persistence: the belief that growth can take root even in uncertain or overlooked ground.”
