Somos un colectivo de y para mujeres que buscan nombrarse y reconocerse dentro de la escena cultural, política y social. Nuestro propósito es recontar la historia por nosotras al crear un espacio interseccional y descentralizado. Proponemos una revuelta para recuperar espacios y voces que fueron silenciadas en el canon de la historia, al utilizar como herramienta el arte de la posibilidad. Informamos, denunciamos y activamos las curadurías comunitarias que recuperan el tejido social a través de las mujeres, en referencia a que somos diversas e hilos de muchos colores (Cabnal, 2010).


Intergalactix: against isolation/contra el aislamiento &  Estación Intergalactix Station  presenta/presents: “Manifesto Armado | performance y charla en línea con La Revuelta “

La Revuelta is a collective of Guatemalan women who seek to build a collaborative learning community where women can generate their own paths in the artistic field. Since its inception, the collective has been formed by Renata Álvarez, Andrea López, Maya Juracán, Christa Krings and Jimena Galán Dary, who are in constant training on curatorship and cultural management.

In this event we will present the online performance Manifesto Armado, which happened during the pandemic on November 14, 2020. At the end we will have a conversation with three members of La Revuelta (Maya Juracán, Renata) and the curatorial team of Intergalactix, about how to weave collaborations (intergalactix), maintain them and sustain the radical and creative spirit.

La Revuelta is a collective of and for women who seek to name and recognize themselves within the cultural, political and social scene. Our purpose is to retell history for us by creating an intersectional and decentralized space. We propose a revolt to recover spaces and voices that were silenced in the canon of history, using the art of possibility as a tool. We inform, denounce and activate community curatorships that recover the social fabric through women, in reference to the fact that we are diverse and threads of many colors (Cabnal, 2010).

The works selected for “A Tender Excavation” d The works selected for “A Tender Excavation” depart from personal, familial, or historical photographic archives which ultimately are recontextualized through installation, collage, painting, film, video, sculpture, or mixed media, reimagining and reconnecting lost fragments to speak about personal and collective resilience, constructing new possibilities for an interconnected futurity.

LACE is thrilled to introduce three of the artists featured in the exhibition...

✷ Mercedes Dorame (@mercedes.dorame)  is a multi-disciplinary artist who calls on her Tongva ancestry to engage the problematics of (in)visibility and ideas of cultural construction and ancestral connection to land and sky.

✷ Leah King (@leahkinglive) is a multimedia artist working in collage, sound, film, and performance. Her intricately layered visual and sonic works explore race, gender, and power through a futurist lens.

✷ Ann Le (@annsgood) is a LA based artist and Senior Lecturer of Photography and Fine Arts at Loyola Marymount University. Her photomontages explore identity, family history, the diaspora, and the space in between becoming Vietnamese-American.

Join us at the opening reception on Saturday, November 1, 2025 from 2–5 PM at CSULA’s Luckman Gallery. Light refreshments will be provided. RSVP at the link in our bio.
