CHAIN LINK GALLERY // FEATURING MAGDA LEON

2023 MassArt x SoWa Design Biennial

MassArt’s Center for Art and Community Partnerships (CACP) shares an exciting project featuring Magda Léon (MFA ’24 2D).

This winter, we’re thrilled to feature two Chain Link Gallery installations with artwork from Magda Léon. Her work reflects her personal experiences of living between worlds—both as a child of immigrants and as an artist inspired by Mexican political cartoonist José Guadalupe Posada.

The first of Magda’s two installations is now on display along Columbus Avenue near Roxbury Community College with the second going up soon in Grove Hall. Both will remain up through March 2025.

We’re also excited to announce that Magda will give an artist talk at the Grove Hall Library on March 18, 2025.
