October 2 – October 29, 2025
Opening reception Thursday, October 2, 4–7 PM
The Gittins Gallery presents Coyotek, a traveling exhibition by multidisciplinary artist Jorge Rojas. Organized with the University of Utah’s College of Fine Arts and the Department of Art & Art History, and originally presented at the El Paso Museum of Art in partnership with ProArtes México, the exhibition engages mythology, performance, and cultural memory through Rojas’ distinctive practice.
Coyotek is a term coined by Rojas that combines coyote and technology. It reflects Rojas’s interests in borders, immigration policy, new media, and digital communication. Coyotek encapsulates the essence of Rojas’s work, bridging ideas and concepts across cultures and creating a sense of connection.
Coyotek investigates Rojas’s conceptual and often political work, inspired by spiritual histories, abuses of power, interpretations of ancient rites, and human interconnectedness. Overall, Coyotek showcases Rojas’s diverse artistic practice, featuring a selection of his work, including photography,
performance videos, a newly commissioned site-specific corn mandala, installations created over the past two decades, and several new works shown for the first time. His work aims to build bridges of understanding between cultures, fostering a flow and exchange of ideas that resonate with people from all walks of life.
