| Details: | Salvador Jiménez-Flores (b. 1985, Jalisco, México) is an interdisciplinary artist whose work is both playful and provocative, addressing critical issues of migration, cultural hybridity, and resilience. Currently based in Chicago, IL, where in addition to his career as an artist he is also a professor for the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, he centers his creative work on his experiences as a bicultural immigrant. On the 80-foot wall in the East Gallery, Jiménez-Flores created Memoria, Tierra, Trabajo: A Glimpse of the Semiquincentenial, a mural painted with earthen pigments. At a time when the United States is celebrating the 250th anniversary of becoming a nation, this mural presents an unfolding timeline and counter-narrative of colonization, labor, and migration in the Americas. Jiménez-Flores’ family has migrated between México and the United States over three generations through programs that invited migrant labor to build railroads or to work in agriculture.
