Young artists of Mexican American heritage are gaining visibility for work that often touches on their ethnic identity—along with other themes, from the conceptual to the formal.

Our list includes the series Hometown Boys by Chinese artist Liu Xiaodong, exhibited at Seattle Asian Art Museum, Nature’s Toolbox: Biodiversity, Art and Invention, an exposition that focuses on the interdependence between the Earth’s inhabitants and the environment, the exhibition Books Of Drawings, Beyond Our Dreams, Blame Our Dads, Brains On Drugs, Better Off Dead by Mario Ybarra, Jr. that highlights U.S. street culture, the inaugural exhibition Untitled (Youth) by Roger Hiorns in the The Calder Gallery at the Hepworth Wakefield, and distorted media images translated into painting called Endless Frontier by artist Jin Meyerson.

West Coast non-profit LAND (Los Angeles Nomadic Division) is activating the Interstate 10 with art spread across the country as part of the incredible Manifest Destiny Billboard Project. From California to Florida, the project brings ten contemporary artists together, creating 100 art-infused billboards along the highway. The project, which began last October, will evolve in chapters as it develops along the I-10, thematically linked together by referencing the concept of the territorial expansion of Manifest Destiny.
