Wayne State University’s College of Fine, Performing and Communication Arts present Hilos de Identidad from Sept. 18 through Dec. 12, 2026, at the Elaine L. Jacob Gallery. An opening reception will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 18. 

Dance, 2000:2001, recreated in 2018, Vito Valdez, acrylic, oil stick and oil on canvas, 48” x 72”

Rooted in the heartbeat of close-knit barrios, spaces shaped by tradition, family, memory, and mutual care, Latino artists connected to Detroit’s communities transform the uncertainties of everyday life into bold declarations of presence and pride. Hilos de Identidad honors the ways art becomes refuge and resonance: the vibrant colors of celebration, the weight of untold stories, all held within a city already defined by resilience.

This exhibition celebrates the impact of Latino artists, carrying their cultural inheritance and artistic legacy into a space where the city’s past and future intersect, contributing to the city’s ongoing transformation. At a time when identity and belonging are increasingly called into question, their work becomes a cultural footprint in motion.

The exhibition includes work by the following artists: Diana Alva, Peter Daniel Bernal, Elton Monroy Duran, Jacinto Herrera, Mary Laredo Herbeck, Alvaro Jurado, Kimberly LaVonne, Juan Martinez, Nora Chapa Mendoza, Ivan Montoya, Irene Perez, Dalia Reyes, Julianna Sanroman Rojas, Vito J. Valdez, and George Vargas.

Public programing including lectures, workshops, and tours will be hosted throughout the duration of the exhibition. Details regarding special events will be announced after the opening reception. Public programming is in collaboration with Center for Latino/a and Latin American Studies. 

Hilos de Identidad was curated by Avanti Herczeg, Laura Makar, and Thomas Pyrzewski.

Esta exhibición celebra el impacto de artistas latinos, llevando su herencia cultural y legado artístico a un espacio donde el pasado y futuro de la ciudad se intersectan, contribuyendo a la transformación continua de la ciudad.
