Conceptualized by artist Máximo González in 2004, the Changarrito Cart as it appears in front of Mexic-Arte is an alternative space for art vending. According to the museum, this phrase is a combo of Mexico City slang for a small retail store (“changarro”) and the suffix “-ando,” which Mexic-Arte summarizes as “indicating the act or action of hanging out at a ‘changarro’ with the featured artist.” This month features Fort Worth-based Magaly Cantú, whose ceramic work, printmaking, and drawings all play on her girlhood as a Latina and, the artist says, “exemplifies an exchange of values and the divided relationship they create between immigrant mothers and their Americanized children.” – James Scott
