Exhibit Information:
“Though we tremble before uncertain futures may we meet illness, death and adversity with strength, may we dance in the face of our fears.”
– Gloria Anzaldua

Curated by Dr. Martina Ayala and inspired by the writings of Gloria Anzaldua, our 33rd Annual Sólo Mujeres Exhibition features 50 Nepantlera artists from the U.S. and Mexico. This exhibition explores the many manifestations of the “Coatlicue State” in Nepantla, with “Nepantleras” reclaiming sovereignty embracing life, death, and rebirth on their own terms.

The exhibit generates a critical discussion on the issues that impact women and their strength as they embark on a journey of self-healing and resiliency. The exhibit educates, engages, and celebrates women in all their stages of development. The events connected to the exhibit are aimed at bringing a diverse group of women together to create, celebrate, discuss, and advocate for relevant issues impacting women in the contemporary world.

Due to COVID-19 MCCLA had to temporarily close it's doors after Opening Night for this exhibit.  The closure has prevented the public from seeing the exhibit in person.  This will be a virtual event that brings together the online community to celebrate the creativity, power, and resilience of women artists and allies.
