黑料不打烊

Boston University Art Galleries presents Ni de Aqu铆, Ni de All谩 (Not From Here, Not From There), a bold new solo exhibition by acclaimed artist Victor 鈥淢arka27鈥� 蚕耻颈帽辞苍别锄. Curated by internationally recognized curator Kate Fowle, the exhibition is on view September 5 through December 10, 2025, at BU鈥檚 Faye G., Jo, and James Stone Gallery.

At the center of Ni de Aqu铆, Ni de All谩 is a deep exploration of identity shaped by immigration, incarceration, and resilience. The artist鈥檚 signature 鈥淣eo Indigenous鈥� style merges graffiti, hip-hop, and Chicanx aesthetics with the visual languages of Mexican and Indigenous tradition. Handwoven rugs and cultural textiles appear throughout the exhibition not only as adornment, but as storytelling devices. They are embedded into paintings, draped over sculptural objects, and woven into immersive shrines, serving as both aesthetic and spiritual anchors. In elevating these materials, 蚕耻颈帽辞苍别锄 honors ancestral memory while reclaiming public space for voices too often erased. For visitors, this exhibition offers both sanctuary and provocation, challenging viewers to reflect on the humanitarian and social issues shaping the immigrant experience and inspiring a sense of pride, empathy, and action.

鈥淎rt gave me a voice when systems tried to silence it,鈥� says 蚕耻颈帽辞苍别锄, whose early life included incarceration for graffiti鈥攁 medium that would later become his liberation. 鈥淭his exhibition is about reclaiming power, about honoring where I come from while challenging the systems that try to define where I belong.鈥�
