The Frank-Ratchye Project Space is pleased to present I Had a Chain for You, an exhibition by Latinx Teaching Artist Fellow, Maya Salcido White.

“My show embodies the exploration of my Mexican & Chicanx culture, my gender identity, the implications of those identities within my family dynamics, and their impact on my self-understanding. Through the lens of music, I question: How does queerness hide or manifest itself in Mexican lyricism? Who are my ancestors and what are their struggles? What aspects of culture and family anchor me, and which aspects fetter me? All pieces in the show are exclusively linoleum block prints. Through this medium, I carve away the version of “me” that was formed without my consent and I expose the version of “me” that I have boldly come to know, accept, and love.”
