pues ni modo, a ch!ngarle is a solo exhibition by artist Guadalupe Sanchez. Having grown up
with first generation immigrant parents from Mexico, Sanchez has been interested in the way
her parents have navigated their lives before and after emigrating to the United States permanently without speaking English. Her fascination was cultivated through familial anecdotes of crossing borders and family separation. In this exhibition, Sanchez archives photographs, documents, and personal items that have recorded the lives of her parents as they have assimilated through the United States. It is also a commentary on how working class immigrant parents have always had to find a balance between working laborious jobs, remaining connected to their culture, and the pressure of having to choose work to be able to provide for their families. Therefore, a ch!ngarle (let’s hustle).
