In No queda nada para nosotros en la espesura (Nothing Left for Us in the Wilderness), Saúl Hernández-Vargas recalls familial intimacy and political resistance through his “Plates” series, created with distinct Oaxaca mud samples and wax repurposed from his grandfather’s (Alfonso Vargas Sánchez) jewelry practice. In this exhibition, Hernández-Vargas engages a deeply interpersonal narrative that invites viewers to interrogate the Mexican State’s use of pre-Hispanic jewels to promote a homogenous identity and, consequently, a unified political identity.
