Jenelle Esparza (San Antonio) and Fronterizx (M. Jenea Sanchez and Gabriela Mu\u00f1oz of Phoenix, Arizona) are recipients of the\u202f2024 US Latinx Fellowship, part of a major initiative led by the Mellon and Ford Foundations. <\/p>\n

This joint initiative provided generous, unrestricted funds aimed to aid the creative process and foster future relationships such as their UTSA exhibition \u201cFronterizx: Art by M. Jenea Sanchez & Gabriela Mu\u00f1oz with Jenelle Esparza,\u201d which opens Wednesday. <\/p>\n

All three artists are fluent in multiple media, including fabric art, installation, photography, printmaking and video, and they draw from their lived experiences as brown women in the U.S.-Mexico border region. <\/p>\n

As such, place and identity are liminal and fluid, and their work often involves socially engaged practices. This show marks Fronterizx Collective\u2019s first exhibition in Texas as well as its first collaboration \u2014 hopefully one of many \u2014 with Esparza. <\/p>\n

Free, artist talks and exhibition preview 6:30-8 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 27, opening reception 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 28, exhibition viewing 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Thursday-Saturday, UTSA Main Art Gallery, Art Building Room 2.03.04., Paseo Del Sur, (210)-458-4011, colfa.utsa.edu.<\/p>\n
