Myth America(NA), Deconstructing Americana Culture and Imagery It is an open, national call-to-artists curated by Rolando Chang Barrero.

Notes of interest…


Myth:
For many folk, the very word “myth” is synonymous with “falsehood.” Truthfully, the opposite is true. Myths, religious or otherwise, are those stories that shape our understanding of reality, of how we see the world and our place in it.

Americana:
Concerning or characteristic of America, its civilization, or its culture broadly : things typical of America. 2 : American culture. 

Deconstructing:
To analyze (a text or a linguistic or conceptual system) by deconstruction, typically in order to expose its hidden internal assumptions and contradictions and subvert its apparent significance or unity.

Exhibition dates: October 29th – November 26th, 2022
