RedLine’s Roots Radical Exhibition Program
Every year, RedLine hosts exhibitions within a social justice-focused Exhibition Program. Our 2022-2023 Exhibition Program is titled Roots Radical: An Exploration into Indigenous Ancestry and Experience.
Roots Radical supports Native-led organizations and artists, and the deeper exploration of our communities’ collective ancestry and Indigenous histories.
This includes many Colorado artists and organizations who share Chicanx and Latine ancestry—from featuring Lucha Martínez de Luna of the Chicano/a Murals of Colorado Project of Colorado as our Roots Radical 48 Hours Summit keynote speaker to supporting Resident Alumni Anthony García Sr.’s curatorial vision in our current exhibition Making Our Mark: An Exploration of Vandal Futurism and more.
Other honorees for this year’s award include Chicano Humanities and Arts Council (CHAC), Museo de las Americas, Carlos Sandoval (a rural Colorado artist), and Stevon Lucero (posthumously - a Denver-based artist).
We look forward to standing alongside our community partners and neighbors in receiving this gracious recognition on Thursday, October 19, 5:30 – 8:30PM at ReelWorks!
