IN The Studio Creative Experimentation I’ve been creating non stop, everyday this week just to keep myself from getting too anxious and stressed. I’ve been experimenting with several ways of manipulating papel to create quiet motion with the movement of my body. I believe papel is capable of taking many routes with different techniques of reinventing its shape. I love this piece, especially as I create it to a scale that will encapsulate my entire body. #socialdistancing #inthestudio #studioartist #beatrizartist #creativeexperimentation https://www.instagram.com/p/B-BNjufA_Y6/?igshid=1k1kveh2u0cmf

I am so proud to present HUELGA, Mi Raza: Dolores Huerta SI SE PUEDE! 9ftx5ft PapelPicado Inspired Hand cut and layered 2020 She will be exhibited at the opening of the Women’s Suffrage Movement exhibition at the Indiana State Museum March 27. Since Latinas weren’t part of the Women’s Suffrage Movement I decided to create and teach about the heroines that have made Latinas Proud and unseen. This piece is in honor of all the migrant workers in the fields struggling everyday to pick the fruits and vegetables that come to our tables, and the one and only Dolores Huerta, Mexican American labor leader and CivilRights activists who co founded the United FarmWorkers Movement alongside the much respected Mexican American activist Cesar Chávez in 1965. Huerta has and continues to fight for migrants workers human rights and for the Latino communities nationwide. This piece is dedicated to Mi Raza working hard in the fields migrant workers who face so much racial discrimination and abuse by those in power, and for my own family who have experienced such discrimination in the fields of Whitetown, Indiana and California. Thank you for your hard work to fill our tables with fresh fruits and vegetables you are INVISIBLE NO MAS!! #doloreshuerta #unitedfarmworker #papelpicado #artivist #beatrizartist #miraza #handcut #representationmatters #cesarchavez #chingona #sisepuede (at Indianapolis, Indiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9zxYJAgSBs/?igshid=5k36thpp7a6i

Herron School of Art Solo Exhibition 2020 My Special Place papelpicado has been featured in several exhibitions including the Indianapolis International Airport, SomartsSF, and Root DivisionSF. It has traveled extensively and has evolved significantly to its exhibited space and for the last time you can see it at my solo exhibition at Herron School of Art and Design, Immigrants Denied: Border Elegy Hope&Loss Opens March 11-April 27 A Special Place was inspired by my childhood cultural memory, growing up on the Texas Mexican Border and being able to easily go across it. The extensive detail of each cut is my PapelPicado signature, where you’ll always find something new and hidden messages, it takes you into my profound memories. Don’t miss experiencing this very special piece and learning about Border life.

IN THE STUDIO Currently, I’m just taking it all in, I’ve finished working on 3 16ftX5ft hand-cut PapelPicado works for my upcoming solo exhibition: Immigrants Denied Border Elegy Hope&Loss Opens March 11 at Herron School of Art & Design. I’m still in need of one more 16ft piece, and will be installing Monday afternoon at the Marsh Gallery. I’m loving this new way of featuring PapelPicado as sculpture. #beatrizartist #soloexhibition #papelpicado #handcut #daughterofimmigrants #herronschoolofartanddesign #chicanaartist #chingonas (at Indianapolis, Indiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9KhmSLA34b/?igshid=uab4b7wl0fud
