Motus Theater ImmigrantAmerica: “Lotería” Visual Arts Exhibition

As part of this exhibition, Motus is highlighting the seven reimaginings of Lotería cards: four developed in 2015 for our SALSA Lotería performance co-presented with El Centro Amistad, and three in 2024 for Motus’ ImmigrantAmerica project. The artwork was created by Sebastián Sifuentes in collaboration with Motus Theater Artistic Executive Director Kirsten Wilson. Lotería is a popular board game, similar to Bingo, that utilizes strong iconic images. These Lotería cards help visitors reflect on ways in which the struggle for humane immigration policy is not just one that concerns people with undocumented family members.

Ephemera: Lost Murals from the Street Wise Arts Archive

Street art is an ephemeral art form meant to be appreciated in the moment, encouraging people to slow down and connect with the people and public spaces that surround them. Many of the Street Wise murals we have created have been lost as Boulder develops and changes.

Rather than let them fade quietly, we're celebrating them through an exhibition showcasing a selection of Street Wise murals that no longer exist. Pay tribute to these lost murals by viewing photographs from our archives and hearing directly from the artists who made them via a storytelling audio tour. Featured artists include Juls Mendoza, Latasha Dunston, Mister Mario, Moe Gram, Olive Moya, UCSepia, Jessica Moon, Koko Bayer, and more.
