The “La Piedra” Artist Collective presents an eclectic exhibition by seven of its members whose desire is to bring the echoes of the streets into the academy, with the aspiration that the inclusion of artists from the Latin American community, will become a tradition at California State University, Los Angeles.
 
Beyond “...isms,” this uncurated exhibition maintains an intrinsic unity, the product of artists who share an ethos: origins, experiences, dreams, and memories refl ected or filtered into the images, colors, and techniques used in the creation of the pieces.

There are myriad works created by the immense network of artists who form a rich human fabric that, over the years, through its encounters and disagreements, has been strengthened, despite the vicissitudes imposed by an exclusionary system that rejects our artistic production as foreign or marginal.
 
In this reprehensible time, saturated with ruthless attacks on the nobility of human thought, we reserve the right to continue painting and to continue expressing our ideas as exponents of Latin American art.
