Stone Gallery Show Explores What It Means to Be Not from Here, Not from There
Boston University's Faye G., Jo, and James Stone Gallery is presenting "Ni de Aquí, Ni de Alla (Not from Here, Not from There)," a solo exhibition by artist Victor Quiñonez, known as Marka27. The show, on view through December 10, features a range of works from paintings and murals to large-scale installations that explore the intersection of opposing cultures, languages, and experiences. Quiñonez, who was born in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, and raised in East Dallas, Texas, began his career as a graffiti artist and now describes his style as "neo-Indigenous," blending Mayan and Aztec imagery with contemporary street culture. The exhibition includes references to Speedy Gonzalez, hibiscus, Maya jaguars, serapes, baseball caps, and luchadors, creating a vibrant dialogue between heritage and modernity.
