The Artnauts are pleased to present:

CROSSING ~ CRUZANDO
Casa de la Cultura Oaxaqueña
Oaxaca, Mexico
October 22 - November 22, 2026
Reception: October 22nd 4-6pm
Curators: Dr. George Rivera | Pamela Beverly-Quigley

About the Exhibition — 
Crossings ~ Cruzando
Life is a continual passage from where we are to where we are going. Birth marks our first crossing, and each transition that follows shapes our experience of being human. Presented during Mexico's Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), Crossings / Cruzando draws inspiration from traditions of remembrance and the symbolic return of those who have died. For the Artnauts, crossing extends beyond life and death to encompass personal, psychological, cultural, and geographical transitions. Through diverse artistic perspectives, the exhibition explores the boundaries we navigate, the connections we form, and the transformations that inform our individual and collective human experience.

Artnaut Faten Nastas Miteasi @nastasmitwasi has curated an important exhibit opening soon in Chicago!

New Forms of Survivance celebrates the work of Palestinian artists and offers a platform through which they share their stories, reflect on their fears, and express their dreams. Against genocidal violence, the artists from Gaza continue to pursue creative expression as a testament to their love of life. The artworks offer alternative ways of seeing, manifesting the evolving relationship between the artists’ lived realities and their creative practices over the past three years. 
New Forms of Survivance, an exhibition I am co-curating with Linda Abdullah, on November 7 at Watershed Art & Ecology, Chicago, IL, USA.

Opening: Saturday, November 7 at 2 p.m., followed by a talk with both curators at 5 pm. 
On view: November 7 to December 5, 2026
Venue: Watershed Art & Ecology, 1821 S. Racine Ave. Chicago

Please do not hesitate to contact @nastasmitwasi if you would like further information or a walkthrough of the exhibition.

The exhibition will also be at Cultivate Art Commons, Kingston, ON, Canada, between January 16th and March 20th, 2027. #palestine #artistcollective #palestine🇵🇸❤️ by @artnauts

ON SALE NOW! Tickets to the WORLD PREMIERE of
"ART NOT AS USUAL" a feature length documentary at DENVER FILM FESTIVAL

OCTOBER 24, 2026 10:30 AM MDT
at MCA HOLIDAY THEATER DENVER
2644 W 32nd Ave, Denver, Colorado
GET TICKETS: denverfilmfestival.eventive.org
 
EARLY in September, the Artnauts gathered at Swoon Art House to see a private, preliminary screening of "Art Not As Usual" the story of the Artnauts collective. Shooting began in 2022, so it was a huge milestone and special celebration as we ended production. A moving history of the collective, the film documents it's origins, mission, and impact. Filmmaker, Annie Eastman, was on hand along with Artnauts' founding members Dr George Rivera and Beth Krensky, and producers, Martha Russo and Pamela Beverly-Quigley. All 5 will be at the Denver Film Festival for a post screening Q&A.

Eastman began her career as a documentary filmmaker working as a Portuguese Translator/Associate Producer on “They Killed Sister Dorothy”, a courtroom-drama set in the Brazilian Amazon over 3 years (HBO Films, Emmy Nominee for Best News & Journalism Documentary 2009). Her directorial debut, “Bay of All Saints” follows a group of spunky single mothers and their refrigerator repairman as they're displaced from their homes in the “water slums” of Brazil. It premiered in competition at SXSW Film Festival and won the Audience Award for Best Feature Doc 2012. She directed and edited an episode of “the Election Effect” (Shine Global / Paramount Plus), a set of stories about how teenagers are affected by our polarized political climate. She has directed and edited over 80 impact stories for non-profit organizations on individuals overcoming generational poverty through education, living with chronic and life-threatening illness, or managing mental illness and addiction. She has two mid-sized kids and a regular-sized husband and lives in Denver, CO.

I am honored to be in the film several times, with Annie Eastman and her amazing crew filming me in Rwanda, Colombia, Brazil, and Colorado over the last five years! She also went to Bosnia, Northern Ireland and Texas, to tell our story. Thank you also to producers @martharusso22 and @pbquigleyart for a beautiful film, and thank you most of all to @georgefredrivera who started the @artnauts 30 years ago! The 30 year history of the Artnauts is compelling and I am so appreciative to be part of it.

"This triptych of paintings reimagines a city's transit infrastructure of roads, railways, and bridges as a living, rhizomatic organism. In our daily lives, these pathways have become invisible systems we navigate without thought. When viewed as illuminated networks, these systems reveal a working human rhizome in constant motion. Each glow from a set of headlights reveals the path of a highway and every aircraft landing light serves as a luminous thread in the night sky within our human-made infrastructure, connecting disparate points and people across the globe.

For the Artnauts, these pathways represent the origins of our collective action; they are the physical channels that allow us to bypass both traditional hierarchies in the art world and barriers in social/political institutions. By depicting horizontal networks of travel, this work celebrates the interconnection and global solidarity required to deliver messages of creative resistance to communities worldwide." - Claire Jackel
