Hello friends!
2020 has not been kind to us. I’ve been making a lot of quilts to keep my mind steady.
Some good news: I have also been the recipient of a 2020 Artist Support Grant, which will help to fund a project I am working on with my husband, artist Jose Garza. More updates later, but the purpose of our project is to draw attention to an abandoned building here in St. Louis. In 1904, anarchist Ricardo Flores Magon fled Mexico to St. Louis and published a Spanish language newspaper at this location, which was then shipped to Mexico, hence sparking the Mexican Revolution. Eventually, the Revolution overthrew a dictator and ushered in Democracy in Mexico. We believe that spaces are key to understanding history. More to come!
