Kathy Vargas’s new exhibition at Artpace, “Shopping for Bargains/My Mother Taught Me to Shop,” is a marvelous visual treat. It is also a social justice statement about the ever-present American pursuit of fashion products that sustain the culture of consumerism and give rise to sweatshops around the world.
Excellent article. Ms. Vargas's story about her art, consumerism, and social justice statement is a book waiting to be written.
What an interesting and informative article!! Thank you for sharing this important message :)
