At the intersection of cultural history, displacement, and personal identity, City of Artists III highlights the evocative works of three remarkable artists: René Treviño, Jackie Milad, and Edgar Reyes. Trevino’s multidisciplinary practice merges Maya and Aztec history with contemporary influences through his sculptural works. Milad’s mixed-media paintings and collages explore her Honduran and Egyptian heritage, delving into dispersed cultural histories. Reyes, through his multimedia art, addresses the adversities faced by his undocumented community and the blending of Indigenous and European traditions.
Each artist offers a unique perspective that encourages viewers to reflect on their own experiences and the shared human condition, enriching the dialogue around cultural and personal identity within the region’s vibrant art scene.
