Part 1 of Galeria de La Raza Raza's Contrabando Series Exhibition
Contrabando (Smuggled Goods) is a fresh new three-part exhibition series that invites individual artists or artist collectives to "move into" the gallery space to create a dynamic studio and public meeting place. Part 1 will feature Dignidad Rebelde, a Bay Area artists/activists collective composed of Jesus Barraza and Melanie Cervantes. Based out of a print collective in Oakland, Dignidad Rebelde is committed to producing and distributing screen-printed political posters and fostering a resurgence in the screen printing medium for social change.
