Work by Xicana poster artist and printmaker Melanie Cervantes, shown outdoors in the Garden Gallery at Laguna and Haight Streets.
The show presents work by Melanie Cervantes, a Xicana artist known for social-justice posters and screenprints in bright, neon-inflected color and bold line. It is installed in the Garden Gallery, a community garden space open to the public during daylight hours.
The page pairs the show with an interview in which she discusses her sewing roots, her path from philanthropy to full-time art-making, the role of the political poster, and her new soft sculptures.
