Until June 10th, resident Teaching Artist Salvador Jiménez-Flores will be showing his work at Urbano. Salvador’s show, the first in a new series of exhibitions, is curated in support of Urbano’s creative theme, The Commons | The Other. The content of Salvador’s exhibit — I Am Not Who You Think I Am — is a fusion of myth, history, religion, politics, and popular culture and is driven by his life experiences. As an artist he feels the responsibility to address the issues that affect his community and to create awareness and propose actions through art. He wants to capture what others overlook by choice or by ignorance. The work in this exhibit allows the artist to mask himself with stereotypes, perceptions and expectations assigned to him merely because he is a member of an ethnic group within the dominant White culture in the United States. Through these works he digs deep down into his inner self through this process — hoping to find universality and humanness that transcends adaptation and blurs the division of dominant and ethnic groups. *Contact Profe about extra credit if you plan to attend.
