  MACHISMOSA
Curated by Aleo Landeta

In the tradition of chisme as lore, Machismosa examines how machismo is learned, whispered, and passed down. This exhibition dismantles it through the same radical storytelling that built it, bringing together ten Latine artists whose multimedia practices unravel machismo's rigidity and reimagine it as fluid, intimate, and communal. Rather than treating machismo as an inescapable mold, these artists deconstruct and reclaim it into something livable. Working across textile, ceramics, painting, and sculpture, they center the body, domesticity, and ancestral memory as sites of resistance, where kitchen-table whispers become revolution. The opening reception will be animated by live performances from drag royalty Soy Papi Churro and Xochitl, bringing Machismosa's themes off the walls and into the room. DJ Katjabba will bring the vibes with her high-energy set.
