SUMMARY:Madre Tierra Art Exhibit Reception
DESCRIPTION:In Holy Wisdom’s newest exhibit\, Madre Tierra\, artist Issis Macias invites viewers into an intimate\, contemplative encounter with the natural world. Rooted in Macias’s cultural lineage – and in the Indigenous and Latin American understanding of Madre Tierra as a living presence and source of ancestral wisdom – the Spanish title affirms a matrilineal thread and an inheritance of strength\, intuition and reverence for the land.
