Sola, pero bien acompañada:

Exhibition Subtitle

Celia Herrera Rodriguez

Celia Herrera Rodríguez’ work, based in the language of the symbol is a directed gesture toward the recuperation of a history, a way of knowing, lost to Xicano/as.  It is epitomized in the centerpiece of this exhibition, “Un rezo en cuatro caminos”  (A Prayer on Four Roads), the title invoking the four directions, the four paths to knowing.  In many ways the work, which was originally presented at the III Bienal Internacional de Estandartes Tijuana 2004, represents the center-stone of Herrera Rodríguez’ own viewpoint as a transplanted Tepehuan (Odami) -originated MeXicana artist.  It speaks to the artist’s complete confidence in the history of our interconnectedness and interdependence as Native Peoples throughout the continent.
