The University of Illinois Springfield Visual Arts Gallery is pleased to present “Hijx De Viboras Doradas,” an exhibition by Chicago-based artist Moises Salazar Tlatenchi. “Hijx De Viboras Doradas” opens Feb. 10 and runs through March 6.
“Hijx De Viboras Doradas” is presented in partnership with the Artists’ Cooperative Residency & Exhibitions (ACRE), an artist-run non-profit based in Chicago devoted to providing resources to emerging artists and nurturing a diverse community of cultural producers. ACRE’s programs support this generative community with materials, equipment, expertise and opportunities to exhibit and share work.
In conjunction with this exhibition, Tlatenchi will present an Engaged Citizenship Common Experience (ECCE) Speaker Series lecture from 6 to 7 p.m. on Feb. 19 in Brookens Auditorium, located on the lower level of Brookens Library. Tlatenchi’s lecture will explore their work as a non-binary first-generation Mexican American, using glitter, fabrics and traditional techniques to celebrate queer and immigrant resilience.
