A textile work asks the question "Where is home?"

"San Pedro Cajamas," a collaboration by Roberto Torres Mata and Moises Martinez Velasco, hand-dyed silk with embroidery, 2021.

Mata's textile and multi-media works are the heart of “Clandestine,” which explores the theme of migration in many ways. Mata earned a master of fine arts degree in 2021 from the UW-Madison's stellar printmaking program. The exhibit runs through Oct. 16.

Reception 2:00 - 4:00 pm, Saturday, October 1, 2022 

My family emigrated to the United States. Secretly and undercover from the border patrol in pursuit of better opportunities and living conditions. In Clandestine, the gallery is transformed with textiles and multi-media work that focuses on migration, provoking a sensory experience for the viewer to see the beauty and conflict involving the risks of leaving everything behind in Latin America to start over in the United States.

Wed - Fri: 11:00am-4:00pm; Sat & Sun 12:00pm-4:00pm; or By Appt. (608) 663-2300. The Gallery is closed during summer and college breaks.
