5 latinx artists transforming everyday materials from cobijas to pinatas into statements on identity 2711684

Ballroom Marfa in Marfa, Texas, presents the exhibition “Los Encuentros,” on view through March 29, 2026, featuring five Latinx artists—Ozzie Juarez, Justin Favela, Antonio Lechuga, Narsiso Martinez, and Yvette Mayorga—who transform everyday materials like blankets (cobijas) and piñatas into works exploring Latinx identity. Curated by Maggie Adler, the show prioritizes local community engagement over the international art world, with works such as Juarez's "Coatzomaki" (2025) synthesizing LA street art and Aztec culture. The exhibition grew from Adler's existing relationships with the artists and her belief in working beyond institutional walls.
