Reynoso @jreynoso25Jorge SanchezDerrick HerreraAs described by the curator Karla Garcia:The Kumeyaay people have lived on this land since time immemorial. Our story is vast, complex, resilient, and never-ending. We are artists, singers, dancers, filmmakers, organizers, advocates, educators, and keepers of our culture. Our stories have been passed down for more than 60 generations on this land, much has been lost but so much has remained. Beyond what we have kept for over 12,000 years, today we create new stories, grow as a community and instill who we are in the next generation of indigenous youth.Our tribe pre-dates the United States, Mexico, and the U.S./ Mexico border. Yet we are divided by these nations and European-American-made walls. Families have been divided, a tribe cut in half, and our way of life was forever changed. Yet we are still here, on both sides of the border, each person, each family, band, community, and ejido, holds a different piece of our story. Today we will show you some of the pieces that we have in hopes that you may see us and that you may listen.Related links:The Front Arte & Cultura websiteThe Front on InstagramEn españolVisíta la nueva exposición durante nuestra recepción de apertura el jueves 6 de octubre a las 6 p.m. Ven a ver obras de arte tradicionales y contemporáneas de artistas Kumeyaay de Baja California, MEX y California, EE.
