Turning tradition upside down

"Hecho a Mano: New Visions of Contemporary Art" - the first annual juried show at the Center for Latino Arts - should dispell the notion that all Latino artists make traditional works from paint and clay, says curator Evan Garza. The artists in "Hecho a Mano" ("Made by Hand") do work with their hands, but that doesn't mean they don't experiment with new mediums. Rosemary Meza DesPlas, for instance, sews human hair to books. Krista Caballero offers up a video installation about poverty and homelessness in front of the State House. (Below, a mixed media piece by Jason Villegas.) Reception tonight from 6 to 9 p.m. (Show up through Oct. 29.) Free. Center for Latino Arts, 85 W Newton St., Boston. 617-927-1735. www.claboston.org

ALSO TONIGHT: Bell X1 plays at the Paradise, and Roslindate hosts the Taste of Roslindale.
