Join LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes for the opening reception of "Linda Vallejo: Brown Belongings," a collection 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 in her art. LA Plaza will exhibit new works by Vallejo alongside selections from several recent series and subseries of artworks that examine brownness and Latinx identity, 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, "Linda Vallejo: Brown Belongings" consists of more than 125 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 through January 6, 2020. An exhibition catalog featuring scholarly reflections on Vallejo’s work will also be available.
