An art exhibition in Grand Forks last summer showed gallery visitors images of Mexican temporary farm workers that don’t fit the stereotype. The men were in blue jeans, with bare torsos and holding and wearing objects that can best be described as regalia. The objects are the work of Rocio Graham, a Mexican-Canadian multidisciplinary artist based in Sinixt and Syilx territory, also known as Christina Lake, BC. Rocio Graham joins me to talk about how the exhibition came about and what she hoped to communicate with her images.
