Juventino Aranda

In Dreams I Once Believed There Was a Future

July 18 - August 24, 2019

Opening Reception: “First Thursday,” August 1, 6-8pm

Greg Kucera Gallery is pleased to present our second one-person exhibition of work by Northwest artist Juventino Aranda. The multimedia artist explores issues of identity, social justice and the marginalization of cultures in today’s United States.

Using a variety of materials and techniques the artist makes work that appropriates images from his childhood and family history. Over-sized replicas of Little Golden books and paintings on Pendleton blankets comment on the artist and his cultural identity.

I am at the intersection of Mexican and American. Not Hispanic or Latino, yet I feel the effects of the Spanish conquest still– over 500 years later. A search for self-identity informs my process as it relates to Pre-Columbian Mexico and the social, political, and economic struggles of this late capitalistic American nightmare.
— Juventino Aranda
