> DESCRIPTION

The artists in this show present us with atypical images of radical Latina selves. They forego the compulsory iconographies associated with mainstream Latina identity - no corn husk goddesses, no Virgenes de Guadalupe. These are anarchic visions of bruisers, brooders, and romantics that will knock you out with a kiss. Thus the title: “Here lie no virgins.” In their place we have women of sub cultural distinction; women with attitude and strong sexual presence- divas, punk rockers, malcriadas (bad girls) and peleoneras (fighters).
