Be among the first to experience "Eva Aguila: The Foundation of the Harvest / El Cimiento de la Cosecha” at the Opening Celebration on Saturday, May 16, from 12 to 4 p.m. On view in the Ralph and Virginia Bozigian Family Gallery at MOAH this Summer.

The exhibition offers a deeply personal and poignant exploration of labor, legacy, and resilience. Through an intimate installation of domestic objects, archival materials, family photographs, and video testimony, Aguila traces the enduring impact of Mexican migrant labor from the Bracero Program to today’s H-2A visa system.

Honoring both the strength of her family and the activism of labor organizers, this exhibition sheds light on stories that continue to shape communities across generations.

This project was supported, in part, by a Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency Grant.
