The Catherine G. Murphy Gallery at St. Catherine University in St. Paul hosted Latina and Latinx MN: Re/claiming Space in Times of Change, an exhibition celebrating art created by self-identifying Latina women and non-binary Latinx Minnesota-based artists with ancestral roots in Latin America from September 7 to December 8, 2024. The exhibit was co-curated by Zamara Cuyún and William Gustavo Franklin.

I joned the foundational artists’ co-curatorial cohort along with Carmen Gutiérrez-Bolger, Lynda Grafito, Marina Castillo, Cecilia Cornejo Sotelo, María Constanza Carballo, Deborah Ramos, and Selena Medellín.

My contribution as a foundational artist consisted of assisting in further discussions on the development of the exhibition and composing an essay for the exhibition’s catalog. I was elated by the opportunity to contribute my words to this publication.
