Velvet Notes: Conversando con Pedro Guzmán by Eugene Rodriguez presents a series of vibrant, pop-art inspired short films, sculpture, prints, and paintings that reflect on themes of artistic creativity and agency through a deeply personal lens. Rodriguez’s alter egos presented in these films examine how images, familial bonds, and cultural heritage construct identity and determine who is seen, heard, and remembered. The exhibition debuts his latest film, The Great Masquerade (2026), which discusses art, artifice, commerce, and politics in the creative industries.
Marcus Zúñiga: cosmovisión brings together recent sculptural installations that feature mica, a light-reflective mineral with spiritual significance in Mesoamerican cultures, as a central component. With this work Zúñiga proposes a re-learning of the cosmos, bringing together Mesoamerican cosmologies, astrophysics, curanderismo, and the artist’s own ancestry as a means towards spiritual healing and ancestral remembrance. Through the exhibition, Zúñiga encourages a more expansive and culturally rooted worldview that mirrors the complexity of the universe itself.
Eva Aguila: The Foundation of the Harvest / El Cimiento de la Cosecha explores the continued impact of the United States’ dependence on Mexican migrant labor, using an intimate installation inclusive of domestic objects, vintage family photographs, archival materials, and video testimony to trace a direct line from the mid-20th century Bracero Program to today's H-2A visa system. The exhibition honors the resilience of Aguila’s family, who transformed harsh working conditions into generational wealth, and the activism of organizers like Aguila’s uncle Jorge Campos Aguiñiga who fought for laborers' rights.
Edwin Vasquez: The Starborn Fragments features a new installation that draws on Mayan iconography while expanding the visual language of this legacy through artworks that reclaim and reimagine a lost history. Vasquez honors ancestral astronomical knowledge while reflecting on cultural identity, spirituality, and the resilience of tradition through a series of richly textured, mixed-media clay masks painted in deep cosmic blues and velvety blacks and encrusted with rhinestones and found objects, a large-scale central painting, relic-like sculpture, and poetry.
Exhibition on view now through April 25, 2027:
Emanations: Light, Growth, and Renewal in the Lancaster Museum of Art and History Collection showcases artworks from MOAH’s permanent collection, including paintings that radiate light, glowing photography, undulating sculpture, and works on paper depicting growth. From ethereal explorations of color and transparency to bold prints pulsing with energy, each piece offers literal and metaphorical interpretations of illumination, emergence, and transformation.
