In 2012, I was asked to be on the selection committee for the Serie Project XX artist in residence program. It is the mission of the Serie Project to produce, promote, and exhibit the work of Latino artists and others, and to make the production and sale of prints affordable to both artist and patron.

Michael Menchaca

Much of Michael Menchaca's work focuses on immigration issues. In a recent MySA interview, he said, “I try to set up a grid based on codices by ancient Mayans and Aztecs. (My work is) from that and cartoons from the modern era. I'm mixing up American culture with ancient Mexican culture. Somewhere in between is where I think the work exists.”

El Vals de las Mariposas, 2008

Alma Lopez

Serigraph

“A spirit, a dream, or a wish…or a hope” is how Mexican-born Chicana artist, activist, and visual storyteller Alma Lopez describes the central figure in her print El Vals de la Mariposas. This title is shared with a waltz that is commonly performed at quinceañeras, a party celebrating the fifteenth year of a young woman’s life. Along with the waltz, Lopez addresses multiple traditions with a complex symbolism that characterizes her artwork.

Alma Lopez received her BA from UC Santa Barbara (1988) and MFA from UC Irvine (1996). She created the print La Llorona Desperately Seeking Coyolxauhqui for Serie X in 2003. Lopez currently lives in Los Angeles, where she helped co-found three organizations: L.A. Coyotas, Tongues, and Homegirl Productions.
