Exhibit at UC Davis’ Manetti Shrem highlights the power of art, protest
“Malaquias Montoya and the Legacies of a Printed Resistance”. The Manetti Shrem Museum of Art is a free museum located on the UC Davis campus and a pillar of the art community in town. Its exhibitions have ranged in content from Roy De Forest’s whimsical “Habitats for Travelers” to the striking work of Mike Henderson’s “Before the Fire.” Despite their differences in theme and topic, they all share a common goal — to help UC Davis students and the greater community connect, whether to the planet, to social issues or to each other.
