Manuel Hernandez: The Singing Wall
Brewer Harris Projects

138 Bank Alley (University Building)
Syracuse

Gorgeously composed and filled with vibrant color, the mural paintings of Manuel Hernandez celebrate Indigenous American roots and address a range of subjects, from migration, to contemporary stories of Indigenous people in Latin America, to gender and family. Combining western and Indigenous histories and myths, Hernandez Sanchez challenges established narratives and visual styles, drawing on a tradition dating back to the ancient frescos found in the temples of Teotihuacán, Mexico.
