Selections from the MOCRA Collection
Amid so much that afflicts and overwhelms us, it is tempting to step away from the path of life and wall ourselves off for self-protection. These artworks, in varied ways, suggest the value of journeying on, open to others and the world, and to our deepest selves.
Featured Work: Michael Tracy, The Romero Cross
“Cruz to Bishop Oscar Romero, Martyr of El Salvador” is a major work by artist Michael Tracy, dedicated to the Archbishop of El Salvador who was assassinated in 1980 and canonized a saint in the Roman Catholic Church in 2018. The Romero Cross has been seen worldwide in prominent venues including the 1982 Venice Biennale, and became part of MOCRA’s permanent collection in 2016. It is now on display after a major conservation and cleaning project that lasted more than half a year.
