San Antonio-based artist Mark Menjívar’s oeuvre integrates social practice and participatory education models to create intentional community building. In his projects, Menjívar creates frameworks for students, community groups, and leaders to come together for critical dialogs about the issues that impact their lives.

These participatory projects often utilize oral history recording, archive building, publications, and installations to present the conversations and findings and generate further participation by the public. Menjívar has worked on over a dozen multifaceted, long-term projects over the last two decades.

Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on view through May 3.
