Presa House Gallery will welcome San Antonio native Melissa Gamez Herrera for her gallery debut and first solo exhibition in her hometown, "Color Code: How It Feels."
The exhibition features a series of new works created between 2023 and 2024. As a lifelong resident of San Antonio, Herrera delves into the city’s urban landscape and the deep inequalities that persist within its physical structure and society. Who are the “haves” and “have nots”? Why do disparities exist within our landscape? Questions not grappled with in everyday conversations regarding the state of the city. Instead, we blame individuals for their circumstances, never our racist history, environment, and policymakers.
"Color Code: How It Feels" combines photographs, sound, objects, and significant historical text to tell a story about the city’s complicated past and disparities of the present.
The exhibition will be on view by appointment through November 30.
