If you haven't had the occasion to see this show yet, do your best to make it before it closes. The ongoing video documenting the recent history and suppression of the popular uprising in Oaxaca is remarkable, and should be seen by all.
Exhibition Dates: October 13 - November 3, 2007
WHERE: Galeria de la Raza|Studio 24 2857 24th St. @ Bryant
Gallery Hours: Wed. - Sat. 12 - 6 p.m
A group of contemporary Oaxacan artists just opened the show “Nothing is going on here!” at Galeria de la Raza. The show includes photography, video and audio art, painting, and a digital mural and is truly fantastico. As you know, Oaxaca has been the political stage of a major uprising by the teacher’s union, which the government has systematically repressed since July 2006. We hope you can be with us at Galeria to honor the incredible work that oaxacan artists are creating in multiple media as a response to the crisis. We are enclosing information about the final event, a talk with the artists taking place this upcoming wednesday(below).
Saludos, Gómez-Peña and Carolina Ponce de Leon.

INTRODUCTION ///
Everyday we confront spaces that don't work - from our neighborhoods and parks, to our prisons, pipelines and borders. In this exhibition and programming series, artists, scholars and activists reveal how these spaces function - and dysfunction - making way for thought and action to create just societies and spaces.
Report from San Francisco:
With several successful events/meetings/talks/panels/readings behind us now (see Suzanne Stein's blog post on the performance for a recap of the latest), and with a working draft proposal to guide us, it's time to begin thinking about where to go from here, and the sort of curricula/projects we want to pursue.
