But it was through personal and social media connections she\u2019s made here in the Bay Area as well as classes she took in an art school in San Carlos in 2013, that gave her the will to create this exhibition, which features at least 10 artists from Mexico.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cFor me, seeing their work while living in San Francisco brings me closer to my heritage,\u201d Solis said. \u201cBeing Mexican, I just felt the necessity to make it be seen. We have to make a presence here, and with the Mexican support of those here, we found ourselves in the art of these artists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Printmaking is a largely male-dominated craft and Solis felt that it was important that more female engravers showcase their art. With help from a female teacher she had from Mexico, Solis was able to make this possible. \u201cOda a la Muerte\u201d is primarily her vision as an immigrant woman of color.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_35884\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-35884\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Oda-a-la-Muerte_04_The-Last-Roundup-by-David-Avery_web.jpg?quality=89&#038;ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-35884\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Oda-a-la-Muerte_04_The-Last-Roundup-by-David-Avery_web.jpg?resize=400%2C471&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"471\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Oda-a-la-Muerte_04_The-Last-Roundup-by-David-Avery_web.jpg?w=576&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 576w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Oda-a-la-Muerte_04_The-Last-Roundup-by-David-Avery_web.jpg?resize=212%2C250&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 212w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Oda-a-la-Muerte_04_The-Last-Roundup-by-David-Avery_web.jpg?resize=408%2C480&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 408w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-35884\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u201cThe Last Roundup,\u201d by David Avery<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cWe [women] have perhaps other experiences and ideas that we can bring to the community and we are connected to art communities south of the border where we come from,\u201d Solis said. \u201cIn that way, we can work on bridging these communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">After meeting so many artists throughout Mexico as well as here in San Francisco, Solis has put together an event to showcase varying artistic conceptions of death with etching and relief prints using both linocut and woodcut techniques. \u201cEl Grabado,\u201d an engraving technique, is an artistic discipline in which the artist uses different printing techniques.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cThese artists have their studios and work in cultural centers, it\u2019s part of the heritage of Jose Guadalupe Posada, a well-known engraver,\u201d Solis said. \u201cCelebrating Day of the Dead through this, celebrates the popular culture that Posada left behind.

This Day of the Dead celebration will be special, she feels, because it will reconnect Latino society with its pre-Columbian roots, thus creating a cultural continuum.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cWe\u2019re still here and we need to make ourselves visible in different ways and for me the way I can do that is through my cultural traditions and the art I use to express myself,\u201d Solis said. \u201cThere are other people in the Mission and Bay Area that are also organizing cultural events and I\u2019m happy that many of them are Mexican, Latinos doing that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">The exhibit will also pay homage to graphic artist Michael Roman, the late Mission artist, whose work has had an immense influence on the neighborhood\u2019s art. Best known for his layered prints portraying political and cultural icons, Roman died in December of 2016 at the age of 60. An altar will be made for him in his honor at the event.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWe want the Mission community from here, from San Francisco, and other parts to come and see the work of these various artists who are doing this work for the community,\u201d Solis said. \u201cWe want to close the gap from the artists here and Mexico and bring them all together in one place.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><i>\u201cOda a la Muerte\u201d opens Saturday, Oct. 21 at 6 p.m. and runs through Dec. 2, 2017.
