LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes presents Linda Vallejo: Brown Belongings, an exhibition of new and recent work from the Los Angeles-based, Chicana artist whose career spans more than forty years. For nearly a decade, Vallejo has explored the vast and varied meanings of the color brown. LA Plaza will exhibit new works by Vallejo alongside selections from several recent series and subseries of artworks, including Make ‘Em All Mexican, The Brown Oscars, The Brown Dot Project, Datos Sagrados, and Cultural Enigma.
LA Plaza’s first solo exhibition dedicated to the work of a Latina and staged simultaneously in all of its temporary exhibition galleries, the exhibition consists of more than 100 of Vallejo’s paintings, drawings, and sculptures, and will examine how race and color, as expressed through images and data, affect our perception and experience of culture. At the same time, it asks how embracing brownness can allow us to creatively question, deflect, and resist stereotypes of and assumptions about Latinx people.
The exhibition will be on view June 1, 2019 through January 6, 2020.
