In "Entre Mundos," Nuestra Artist Collective focuses on the broader concept of Nepantla – a space for anyone who has ever felt caught between worlds, identities, or expectations

Between Worlds: A women's artist collective contemplates liminal spaces. The Art Galleries at TCU presents Entre Mundos, featuring the latest work by Nuestra Artist Collective. The exhibition was on view at Moudy Art Gallery from January 16 to 30, 2025. An opening reception was held on Thursday, January 16, from 5 to 7 p.m., and an artist talk with a special photography activity occurred Saturday, January 25, from 1 to 4 p.m.

In Entre Mundos, the Collective focuses on the broader concept of Nepantla – a space for anyone who has ever felt caught between worlds, identities, or expectations. Inspired by the writings of Gloria Anzaldúa and her concept of Nepantla, this exhibition explores “in-between spaces”—the liminal and transformative realms where identities, cultures, and experiences intersect. Nepantla is a Mexican indigenous Nahuatl word meaning “a space between two bodies of water, the space between two worlds.” For the artists Nepantla serves as a lens through which they examine the complexities of assimilation, migration, and belonging. This exhibition demonstrates how art can illuminate the complexities of the human experience, celebrating the beauty and tension of existing entre mundos—between worlds.

In addition to exhibiting collaborative and individual works, the Collective presented new interactive experiences for viewers to reflect on their own realities and contribute to a changing site-specific installation that represents a liminal space within the gallery.
