Curated by Pavel Acevedo, "Placa Madre": A Group Exhibition presents a body of work by a distinct group of Southern California based printmakers. As active community leaders, teachers, and art instructors in their respective communities, these artists continue to contribute to a growing cultural lineage that blends together traditional printmaking techniques with new innovative practices.

Featured in this show are pieces that utilize lithography, etching, and relief printing reworked through collage and multimedia elements.What emerges from this marriage of traditional and modern techniques is a unique display of storytelling in these present times.
