Galeria de la Raza AND La Pocha Nostra present Oaxaca: Aqui no pasanada [OAXACA: Nothing Is Going On Here], an exhibition featuring some ofthe most daring contemporary artists living and working in Oaxaca. The exhibit captures the social-political conflict that
erupted in Oaxaca in the summer of 2006 when Mexican president VicenteFox sent the army into Oaxaca —using the highest level of military force—
to silence the state’s popular teachers’ uprising.

Oaxaca: Aquí no pasa nada was organized by La
Curtiduría, an independent cultural space in Oaxaca, founded in 2006 topromote civic dialogue, as well as the artistic production and culturalexchange of contemporary art in Oaxaca. The exhibition is the result ofwhat was developed after the onset of the social conflict, of theconsciousness and courage that comes from individual action, and thetransformation of reality made possible through community organizing.
