This year I had the opportunity to participate on the 2015 WEST Studio Tour with a group of fellow Latino artists from Texas. The Tour is during the weekends of May 09-10 and 16-17.  But, La Peña tied the tour to an exhibition honoring Gloria E. Anzaldúa, a chicano activist, scholar and artist who used the concept Nepantla in her writings and theories.
Nepantla is a term that in short translates as "in between places" - it was used to identify that cultural "in-betweenness" experienced by people living in the borderlands or living in between two cultures.

"Living between cultures results in 'seeing' double, first from the perspective of one culture, then from the perspective of another. Seeing from two or more perspectives simultaneously renders those cultures transparent. Removed from that culture's center you glimpse the sea in which you've been immersed but to which you were oblivious, no longer seeing the world the way you were enculturated to see it." --Gloria E. Anzaldúa

The exhibit will be open until May 30th at 227 Congress Avenue. Austin, Texas 78702
An Artist Reception will be held on May 16th - 4-6pm

    My Story

    I was born in Chile at the end of the 70's, so I went through the 80's listening to rock, watching movies, reading books and doodling all the time. 
    I studied advertising and moved to the United States in 2001. I lived in Oregon and Austin, Texas with my beautiful family for almost 20 years, then we decided to move to Lisbon. Portugal where we reside now.
    My studio is located at the LX Factory in Lisbon.
    Poison of choice: Coffee.
