The MexiCali Biennial presents the recent Story Map in collaboration with the Library of Congress, Hispanic Reading Room. This research project focuses on three artists/groups that were included the Land of Milk & Honey exhibition at the Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art and Culture of the Riverside Art Museum. Read about the agricultural history of the region in relationship to Mexico, Sacramento, Los Angeles, and the border region through the lens of artists Isidro Pérez-García, Chris Christion and Jessica Wimbley, Ruben Ochoa, and Shinpei Takeda.
