Kickoff for San Antonio's Contemporary Art Month will feature exhibition dedicated to 'sad rock'
San Antonio's Contemporary Art Month 2025 starts with a bang this Friday thanks to two kickoff shows at the Contemporary gallery at Blue Star. Jacqueline Saragoza McGilvray, curator and exhibitions director at the Contemporary, has assembled “Mosh Now, Cry Later: San Antonio’s love of sad rock and its impacts on visual culture,” which features Christie Blizard, Justo Cisneros, Joe De La Cruz, Juan Flores, Angela Fox, Brian Gonzalez, Nick Hay, Domeinic Jimenez, Ashley Mireles, Charlie Morris, Theresa Newsome, Ashley Perez, Kristy Perez and Anthony Rundblade. The playful “Mosh Now, Cry Later” explores San Antonio's deep love of music, specifically a youth culture that equally embraces both the weepy ballads of The Smiths and the cathartic discord of hardcore and punk.
