The SP/N Gallery at The University of Texas at Dallas presents the group exhibition Transmission Reentry which explores the Latinx diaspora in the United States and the disparate influence of American exceptionalism. The artists selected for this exhibit come from different backgrounds and explore different mediums. They examine their own cultural identity and its historical ambiguity. They are local artists who recognize the credence of western ideas but also have the coraje to challenge it.

This exhibition features artists: Sheryl Anaya, Sara Cardona, Carlos Donjuan, Alejandro Diaz, Angela Faz, Jonathan Molina-Garcia, John Hernandez, Benito Huerta, Daniela Cavazos Madrigal, Lucas Martell, Analise Minjarez, Rachel Muldez, Eduardo Portillo, Lupita Murillo Tinnen, Sarita Westrup, Fabiola Valenzuela. Transmission Reentry is curated by Giovanni Valderas (Dallas). The show opens on January 19 and runs through February 17, with an opening reception from 6.00 – 8.30 pm, Friday, January 19th.
