Don’t miss the fall reception and curatorial tour of Transgresoras: Mail Art and Messages, 1960s–2020s on Saturday, October 11 at UCR ARTS.

Transgresoras is a historical survey of mail art made by Latinx and Latin American women artists from the 1960s to the present day. Mail art emerged as a way for women artists to work outside of official channels of artistic production, subverting the repressive censorship of authoritarian regimes and regressive gender restrictions. 

The exhibition features visual poetry, drawings, performance, video, and photography created by an intergenerational group of artists from across Latin America and the US, outlining connections between postal pioneers and contemporary artists inspired by their legacy of correspondence. 

Co-curated by Zanna Gilbert, Senior Research Specialist, Getty Research Institute, and Elena Shtromberg, Professor of Art History, University of Utah.
