From the organizers:
“Centro Cultural Aztlan is honored to present the 43 rd annual Segundo de Febrero Virtual exhibition.
Centro Cultural Aztlan has produced and presented the annual Segundo de Febrero exhibit since 1978 in an effort to
preserve Mexican American history and culture. This exhibit commemorates the 173 rd anniversary of the signing of
the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, the ending of the U.S. Mexican war, and the redistribution of a border—creating
a new bicultural citizenry with a new consciousness of Mexican American dual identity, history, culture, and
traditions.
The visual dialog created by the artists, Angelica Mayorga, Raul Servin, Victor Tello, Israel Rico and Robert Wilkens, take
inspiration from past and present events, and not only reflect the Chicano/Latino and indigenous identity issues, but also
describe the sentiment towards border issues, history, culture, current political events and the lasting effects of the
broken treaty. We at Centro Cultural Aztlan believe it’s important to commemorate and highlight this important event in
our history, as it established the new American Southwest and the Mexican American Identity and Community.
Please join our VIRTUAL exhibit and celebration on Saturday, February 27, at 7PM through the following links:

Centro Cultural Aztlan is proud to present Cultural Expressions a series of community-based events that promote
the work of Chican@/Latin@ artists. Through this series of visual art exhibitions, community discussions, literary
events, and performances, Centro Cultural Aztlan empowers artists to create and exhibit their work and reach new
audiences.
COVID-19 has greatly impacted the work we do here at Centro Cultural Aztlan, and we have had to adapt quickly!
The Cultural Expressions series will allow us to continue engaging the artistas de Aztlan who were scheduled to
participate in exhibitions that were canceled due to Covid-19. We are taking steps to continue to bring valuable
programming to the community via digital platforms through Facebook, YouTube and our website.
Since the closure of our gallery, many artists do not have the means—or place—to exhibit and sell their works. The
Cultural Expressions series will help highlight their stories and their art, while making our Gallery available to our
comunidad virtually.”
