Join Los Angeles-based Chicana artist and researcher Sandy Rodriguez (2021 Creative Capital Awardee) as she discusses the exhibition Currents of Resistance, currently on view at The Ringling, in the context of her ongoing series Codex Rodriguez Mondragon. Her works map intersections of history, social memory, and contemporary politics. Strongly influenced by both the 16th-century colonial Florentine Codex and present-day issues along the US-Mexico border and Western US and now the US Southeast, Rodriguez’s works map the ongoing cycles of violence on communities of color by blending historical and recent events.
