"Xican–a.o.x. Body" is the first major exhibition to examine influential works by artists who foreground the Brown body as a site to explore, expand, and complicate traditional conceptions linked to Mexican, Mexican American, and Xicanx experiences. Consisting of approximately 125 artworks by about 70 artists and artist collectives, Xican–a.o.x. Body weaves a rich tapestry of diverse media, from the late 1960s through today, including Lowrider cars, poetry, pottery, painting, photography, sculpture, and film. The Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art & Culture of the Riverside Art Museum is the first stop of the exhibition’s national tour, opening in California on June 17, 2024 and continuing through January 7, 2024.
