Part of PST ART: Art & Science Collides, ‘Sangre de Nopal/Blood of the Nopal: Tanya Aguiñiga & Porfirio Gutiérrez en Conversación/in Conversation’ opens July 21 at the Fowler Museum at UCLA. Co-presented by @mcasantabarbara and @fowlermuseum , this exhibition offers an expanded understanding of the scientific and Indigenous origins of cochineal, a red dye developed by the Zapotec peoples. Artists Tanya Aguiñiga and Porfirio Gutiérrez work with natural fibers and dyes and share a profound care and passion for the traditional ecological knowledge of the Indigenous Oaxacan diaspora as well as concern for the socio-political crises that affect Indigenous communities on both sides of the Mexico–U.S. border. New commissions and existing works from the artists will be featured alongside Oaxacan textiles from the Fowler collection. Join us for an opening celebration Sat July 20, 6–9 pm with an Indigenous welcome, live music, and 🌵-themed refreshments. Details at the link in bio.
