“Mi Sur/My South: A Survey of Latina/o Artists Working in Memphis" attempts to show a cross section of contemporary Latina/o artists creating artwork in the Memphis area. Mi Sur/My South is concerned with amplifying the artistic voices that have largely been ignored but are in fact and deed contributing to the changing demographic and cultural dynamic disrupting the once binary racial understanding of the South. What this exhibition has in common is the Latin American Hispanic experience. |
