The exhibition honors the resilience of Aguila’s family, who transformed harsh working conditions into generational wealth, and the activism of organizers like Aguila’s uncle Jorge Campos Aguiñiga who fought for laborers' rights. 2026 Summer Exhibition Season Lancaster Museum of Art and History This project was supported, in part, by a Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency Grant.

Zúñiga received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of New Mexico and his Master of Fine Arts from Art Center College of Design. He has been featured in exhibitions at the MexiCali Biennial at the Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art and Culture, UC Irvine Beall Center for Art and Technology, Armory Center for the Arts, and 516 Arts, among others.
