Exhibition Closing: New Codex Oaxaca: Immigration and Cultural Memory at the Duron Gallery
The Durón Gallery at SPARC will present our closing event with a discussion for “New Codex Oaxaca: Immigration and Cultural Memory.” A touring exhibit curated by Marietta Bernstorff, that looks into the lives and narratives of Oaxacan people, who following the “Sueño Americano” immigrated and settled in the Westside of Los Angeles. The exhibition offers an intimate view into the struggles faced in the dangerous journey, the memories and desolate families left behind, and the unjust immigration policies met with upon arrival. The exhibition depicts a human story that allows us to understand why someone would venture into the unknown journey across borders.
