Pyramid Atlantic Arts center opened a new exhibit this month titled Destinos that offers a glimpse into the contemporary printmaking scene in Mexico and showcases prints and zines created by Mexican studios and shops.

The selection includes pieces that utilize a dynamic mix of printmaking methods to delve into themes of personal and national identity, social justice and pop culture.

The exhibit is curated by Edgar Reyes, a Mexican-born artist based in the Baltimore and Washington D.C. area whose work reflects the complexities of migration and resettlement. While traveling through Mexico, Reyes sourced a compelling array of works from print shops and collaborating artists for Destinos.

“The featured prints and zines serve as a powerful testament to the enduring traditions of Mexican art,” says Reyes. “From personal narratives to social commentary, the exhibition delves into themes of identity, history, and the ever-changing social fabric of Mexico.”

The exhibit will be on view from July 20 through August 18. Visit pyramidatlanticartscenter.org to learn more.
