Before Europeans colonized South Texas, the Payaya people, a Coahuiltecan group of Native Americans, lived in the valley around the San Antonio River Valley, or the Yanaguana River, as they referred to it.
“Ahāuh: Mi Cuerpo,” the first word of which means “body” in Coahuiltecan, is a dynamic exhibition by San Antonio artist Guillermina Zabala of linocut prints, mixed media photography and digital video that reflects on womanhood, aging and identity.
The show will run Thursday, Feb. 6, through Thursday, Feb. 20, at Un Grito Gallery in The Upstairs Studios at Blue Star.
Also accompanying the exhibition, from 7-10 p.m. Friday, Feb. 7, Destiny Hernandez will perform a traditional Coahuiltecan fancy shawl dance meant to reflect the flow of the river.
Free, Thursday, Feb. 6, through Thursday, Feb. 20, Un Grito Gallery in the The Upstairs Studios at Blue Star, 1420 S. Alamo St., instagram.com/ungritogallery.
