Garza, deVera exhibit at Chicago Cultural Center

Assistant Professor Joe deVera and Kemper Art Museum Academic Programs Coordinator Jose Garza, MFA ‘13, have work on view at the Chicago Cultural Center’s Exhibition, “Creative Rebellion.” DeVera’s work, “False Front,” is a 3D mixed media installation, and Garza’s “Signs of the Time,” uses picket signs and collage to question power.

“Creative Rebellions” is among the featured exhibitions of “Resisting the Long War,” the 2026 veteran art triennial. Each exhibition offers a distinct curatorial frame on artists’ creative defiance to war and militarism. Together, the Triennial’s exhibitions uplift overlapping legacies of resistance, presenting alternative visions of peace, healing, and justice generated by diverse communities impacted by war. The exhibition will be on view through March 2027.
