Aquí Seguimos: A Legacy of Love & a History of Resistance - Opening Night

Curated by
Alana Guzman & Marah Abdel Jaber

Join us for a night of celebrating Mexican and Palestinian art, resistance, and joint histories featuring visual art, music, food + drinks.

Aquí Seguimos: A Legacy of Love and a History of Resistance is a collaborative group exhibition and fundraiser honoring the connection between Mexican and Palestinian communities. Rooted in contemporary art, this show aims to honor the radical act of imagining liberation while living with the weight of the histories we inherit and the reality we endure.

Cansados, casi muertos, desesperados, aquí seguimos.

Tired, nearly dead, desperate, we remain.

As our communities face escalating violence, deportation, erasure, and dehumanization, Aquí Seguimos is an act of refusal — a call to persist. Featuring works by Mexican and Palestinian artists across mediums and borders, Aquí Seguimos reminds us that radical imagination and the preservation of culture are resistance against those who seek to erase us. As a fundraiser, the event will evenly direct proceeds toward the Gaza Mutual Aid Collective and Migrant Solidarity Mutual Aid Network, while also serving as a meaningful cultural offering to the broader community.

Opening September 3, 2026 at Making Space BMore, Aquí Seguimos is set against a backdrop of the Sabra and Shatila Massacre (1982) and Mexican Independence (1810-1821). The exhibition reflects a liminality that continues to haunt our communities: the suspension between grief and joy, tragedy and liberation, suffering and sovereignty.
