|description_of_incident=Suzy González and Michael Menchaca, under their collective name “Dos Mestizx,” curated the exhibition “XicanX: New Visions” celebrating Chicano art at Centro de Artes, a downtown gallery owned by and funded by the City of San Antonio Department of Arts & Culture. On the day of the opening, Ibarra’s video work “Spictacle II: La Tortillera” was removed upon orders from the city, despite the curators complying with city requests to curtain off the work with advisory signage. San Antonio’s Department of Arts & Culture removed the artwork by Xandra Ibarra from this exhibition because of apparent discomfort with its unconventional representations of sexuality and the challenge it presents to gender stereotypes.
