ROCKLIN, Calif., Jan. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Ridley Gallery is pleased to present the work of Vincent Pacheco: Upstanding Citizen. Vincent Pacheco explores ancestral memories through an installation of hand-made piñatas. As a third-generation Mexican American caught between two worlds--an oppressed minority, and an upstanding citizen in white society-- Pacheco uses this traditional craft to forge new cultural understanding. He embeds each piñata with familial memories, akin to a totem, and aims to forge new connections about his family's crime-ridden past, his fading knowledge of ancestry, and his place in the world.
