Building Radical Soil is a group exhibition that moves us to appreciate the interrelatedness of our everyday lives and the environment. The show features contemporary artists Nyugen E. Smith, Maria Gaspar, Michelle Hernandez Vega, Koyoltzintli, Glendalys Medina, Carlos Rosales Silva, Lina Puerta, Justin Sterling, and Cinthya Santos Briones. Collectively their works surface an understanding of urgent issues that include extractive economies, environmental racism, and colonial settlement through the reevaluation of ancestral, intergenerational, and community knowledge.
