Nuestra Gente: ISU student art exhibit shows the diversity within Mexican culture

Aired October 5, 2023 -- Illinois State University student Andrés Dominguez Fernandez curated “Nuestra Gente” meaning “Our People.” “Everybody here is bringing a little piece, regardless of if it’s shown or not, I think they’re bringing a little piece of their heritage to this space,” said Dominguez Fernandez. “Nuestra Gente” is an art exhibit at ISU featuring the work of Dominguez Fernandez and his peers. All the student artists have Mexican Heritage allowing visitors to see that their culture is not a monolith.
