Indígenous – Vincent Pacheco
Indígenous is an exploration of memory and ancestral beliefs as presented through a series of 90s era Chicano hieroglyphics.
Sup Foo – Vincent Pacheco
Vincent Pacheco explores ancestral memories through an installation of hand-made piñatas. As a third-generation Mexican-American caught between two worlds–an oppressed minority, and an upstanding citizen in white society– Pacheco uses this traditional craft to forge new cultural understanding. Artist reception will be held on July 9th from 6-9pm (Second Saturday)

This show is about strategies for coping with dueling apocalypses. Laughter, tenderness, finding the ground so you can put your feet on it. We are looking for ways forward, for political agency. We are imagining new ways of being, collectively and individually. How do we find each other again? How do we listen, how do we love? How do we serve each other? How do we reconnect to our places, our environment, our neighbors and ourselves? We invite you to be with us. It’s wonderful being with you.
Five new Axis members—Eliza Gregory, Muzi Li Rowe, Vincent Pacheco, Joanne Tepper Saffren and Dan Tran—come together to show their work as Strategies for Coping, an exhibition dedicated to building connection across isolation in this particular time and place. Each artist presents work that speaks to a particular strategy for dealing with the panoply of ills that have reared up these last few months: anxiety, isolation, personal trauma, grief, social upheaval, sickness, wildfire…the list goes on. Using a mixture of photography, sculpture and paintings the five artists present works that resonate with humor and pathos, opening a conversation for everyone to acknowledge and share their strategies for coping.
