“No Te Dejes” by artist David Hanes-Gonzalez

This solo exhibition by artist David Hanes-Gonzalez explores the cultural and spiritual dimensions of the Mexican boxing community through photography and sculptural installation. Designed to evoke a devotional atmosphere, the work merges the sacred language of religious altars with the raw textures of boxing gyms across Mexico. David Hanes-González is a visual artist, filmmaker, and photographer from Chicago, Illinois. Born to a Mexican mother and an American father, he has spent the last four years living and working in Mexico City, returning to the culture that shaped his family and inspired his ongoing exploration of identity, faith, and resilience. His practice investigates the intersection of sport, spirituality, and Mexican identity through projects that blend documentary photography, filmmaking, and visual storytelling. Opening Reception: 6 to 8 p.m., Saturday, August 29, 2026.
