Sangre de Nopal Artist Wendy Cabrera Rubio will present a special showcase this March. Be sure to mark your calendar for these unique events!
Wendy Cabrera Rubio (b. 1993, Mexico)
Her work is characterized by a series of interweaves that transcend the boundaries between high and low culture, image and object, narration and action, through textile and theatrical work or through the historical study of mass culture, especially cartoons and animation. This way, she explores the relationships between aesthetics and ideology present in the mechanisms of image production and distribution. Her processes involve rewriting, reviewing archives, and collaborating with other disciplines. Recurring themes in her work include biotechnology, the resurgence of the far right, and the Pan-American project.

Join us Friday March 21st for a special video screening presented by Wendy Cabrera Rubio
“Videoarte Latinoamericano.”
Description:
Artists born during the era of the Free Trade Agreement, amidst financial crises, and under the rule of the Institutional Revolutionary Party. Each of the creators featured here inhabit the rugged landscapes characteristic of the sacrifice zones in the global south. We will move away from the tropical paradise and the fantasy of ancestrally, focusing instead on a critique of hyper-consumption and the fetishization of the concept of nature.

Puppet Workshop
March 22
¡Les presentamos el Taller de Marionetas con Wendy Cabrera-Rubio!
En el taller interpretaremos personajes históricos y los realizaremos en marionetas de papel maché y fieltro. Realizaremos la construcción psicológica del personaje a partir de un estudio de su representación en medios visuales y realizaremos una obra de teatro colectiva interconectando diferentes momentos de la historia.
We present you the Puppet Making Workshop!
During the workshop we will interpret historic characters and make them into puppets made of paper maché and felt. We will carry out the psychological construction of the character based on a study of their representation in visual media and we will perform a collective play interconnecting different moments in history.
Join us on March 22nd as we have a sit down chat with Wendy. We will talk about the amazing pieces she has on view right now in the Sangre De Nopal/Blood of the Nopal: Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Contemporary Art.
