This piece sheds light on four artists, including Melanie Cervantes, and the exhibitions that some of their work, and more, has been displayed in. In particular, it gives more information on Dignidad Rebelde and the work Cervantes, alongside Jesus Barraza, have done in regards to creating art. Some of the topics their work discusses include police abuse and indigenous rights. This really highlights the kind of work Cervantes is interested in and, potentially, some exhibitions that she may have been part of.
