Precious Cargo is pleased to present we weren’t bored, an exhibition by Denver-based artist Adán De La Garza. The five channel video installation and accompanying artifacts chronicle an early 2000s Tucson world from the perspective of a group of teenage boys. The exhibition is joined by the release of a zine of the same name, featuring stills and text to supplement the videos, which were taken over the course of 6 years during De La Garza’s transition to young adulthood.
