The McNay’s Artists Looking at Art (ALA) series celebrates the vitality of the San Antonio contemporary art community with an installation by Melissa Gamez Herrera. The artist contemplates issues of identity, community, and justice through her photography, bookmaking, printmaking, and multimedia practices. Herrera’s installation at the McNay transforms objects, audio recordings, and lighting effects into a conceptual altar, honoring the unnamed migrants crossing hostile terrain.
