From the El Paso Museum of Art:
“Coyotek is a solo exhibition by Mexican-American artist Jorge Rojas. The exhibition showcases Rojas’s diverse artistic practice, featuring a selection of his work, including photography, performance videos, and installations created over the past two decades. His work aims to build bridges of understanding between cultures, fostering a flow and exchange of ideas that resonate with people from all walks of life.
The title, Coyotek, is a playful neologism reflecting an identity and aesthetic woven from Rojas’s interest in borders and immigration policy through his own multicultural immigrant experience. Rojas’s work is not just about bridging ideas and concepts across cultures, but also about creating a sense of connection.
As part of last year’s Día de los Muertos celebration, the El Paso Museum of Art commissioned Rojas to create Corn Mandala: Mictlān, a site-specific installation using colorful natural corn kernels to honor maize’s cultural and spiritual significance.
This exhibition is organized by PROArtes México.”
