WHAT IS SENDERO GRÁFICO?
Daniel González and Pável Acevedo are two printmakers based out of Southern California. They have been friends for many years and have exhibited together locally and internationally. Pável and Daniel decided to participate in the Silver City Southwest Print Fiesta, and are traveling together through Arizona to New Mexico. Looking at the long drive through the Southwest, they decided to take advantage of the journey. Their travel will be guided by the opportunities that our friends and colleagues offer us to present our work, meet other printmakers and connect with communities to exchange ideas and practices. Together, we are building a sendero, a trail through the exchange of graphic art and participating in spaces where we can share ideas and continue to build community.
