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.

The college programs two galleries for the benefit of our university and surrounding communities. The Art Department Gallery (ADG) was established in 1956 and focuses on student, faculty, and alumni exhibitions, as well as the work of community artists. The Elaine L. Jacob Gallery (ELJG), 1997, presents exhibitions of national and international significance. 

The ELJG and ADG are part of a visual arts network located in Detroit Cultural Center Area, along with the Detroit Institute of Arts, Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, College for Creative Studies, Detroit Artists Market, Scarab Club and N’namdi Gallery; the galleries significantly contribute to the vitality of Detroit as a destination for visual arts.

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. En un tiempo cuando identidad y pertenencia están siendo cada vez más cuestionadas, su trabajo se convierte en una huella cultural en movimiento.
