A new exhibition at the Boulder Museum of Contemporary art explores identity, memory, migration, and belonging

KGNU’s Rossana Longo Better visited the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, where the new exhibition Tres Voces, Un Corazón brings together the work of three local artists to explore identity, memory, migration, and belonging– revealing how art can preserve culture and become a powerful act of resilience across generations.

The artists highlighted are Silvia Montero, Tony Ortega, and their son, Cipriano Ortega. The exhibition highlights the artistic practices of the three family members and explores how identity and cultural memory are formed and preserved.

Silvia and Tony’s work in the Chicano movement of the 1970s and 1980s inform their creative work and ground it in their cultural identity. The exhibition also features Cipriano’s multimedia pieces and music compositions which add a generational perspective.

Tres Voces, Un Corazón is guest curated by Maruca Salazar.
