San Antonio Public Library Central

Cognizant Distance

03 Mar 2026 06:00:00 GMT

Ongoing through Saturday, April 4, 2026

In this solo exhibition, Kristina Salinas generates a pictorial study on the space that
exists, both representational and allegorical, between herself and her roots in Mexico.
Salinas traces her paternal lineage in a regional journey from her home in San Antonio,
Texas through her birthplace of Laredo, Texas and ultimately ending at her ancestral
home of Candela, Coahuila, Mexico.
In traveling and researching this project, the artist collected images along the route in an
attempt to express her cultural identity. By exhibiting her work, she aims to shed light on
our shared cultural experiences and strike recognition between herself and the viewer.
The exhibition title is a play on Cognitive Dissonance, the term which describes the
resultant internal conflict from holding polarizing beliefs within oneself. Salinas
acknowledges the duality that exists between herself as a contemporary artist in San
Antonio as compared to the ways of life of her relatives in Laredo and Candela, begging
the question: what has been lost and what was gained?
Salinas acknowledges the beautiful truth in our human capacity, as descendants of
immigrants, for acknowledging and honoring the path our families walked, the risks
taken and the complexities of cultural identity derived from that journey.

Please note that the Central Library is closed on Sundays.

Alebrijes y Carnaval

10 Mar 2026 05:00:00 GMT

Tuesday, March 10, 2026

Alebrijes y Carnaval is a visual arts exhibition that imagines a cultural encounter between Mexican and Panamanian ancestral traditions. The works ask a central question: If our ancestral cultures arrived together at Carnaval today, what message would they leave behind?

Through vibrant mixed-media paintings, Mesoamerican deities are portrayed as powerful queens, while alebrijes take the form of endangered Panamanian species—reimagined as modern guardians of land, memory, and spirit. Folklore, mythology, and environmental awareness come together to honor ancestral wisdom while reflecting on protection, resilience, and cultural continuity.

Tree of Life Art Workshop

21 Mar 2026 18:00:00 GMT

Saturday, March 21, 2026, 1 – 3pm

The Tree of Life workshop led by artist Kristina Salinas will invite participants to gather and reflect on the symbology and iconography at play in their lives or family history.
In this workshop, the artist invites the community to gather and reflect on the central flora—especially a tree—that plays a role in their life. The tree will be the backdrop to their Tree of Life painting. We will spend time ruminating on the symbols that are integral to their lives (specific flowers, ornaments, other icons that are meaningful to their personal stories) and take time to add these symbols to their own respective tree painting, resulting in a colorful and diverse array of decorations on their tree.
