Artist Statement
I use textile materials and techniques, and most recently also sound, to explore experiences, as well as to make artworks that aim to become the vehicle to create new ones. My most recent project, New Universe: Discovering Other Possibilities, was born from my interest to explore the learning processes that occur between a mother and her child. What and how we learn, when do we learn, where do we learn, and from whom do we learn are some of the ideas that I have been investigating through and for this project. New Universe presents a group of works that take as their starting point moments and experiences within the family and in particular through the child-mother relationship. From these experiences, my creations explore ideas related to discovery, invention and the unknown. Thus, there are pieces born from daily activities such as playing, time spent with family and care labor, as well as those born from conversations with other parents and research. In its entirety the project included and exhibition, a workshop and several activities during a three month period at the Textile Museum and Documentation Centre in Terrassa, Barcelona, Spain. This project is still growing.
From Between My Legs, 2019, Textile based art piece.
STATEMENT:
From Between My Legs is a work born from the experience and exploration of motherhood through the interactions of the bodies of mother and daughter. Thus, this work, framed in relation to the natural world, refers to the acquired independence of the daughter's body, to the consciously feminist mothering practice and to the sexual pleasure of the body of the mother, events all of them that have the literal or metaphorically starting point in the place between the legs of the mother.
From between my legs
a new combative and vindicating being is born
that has made me rethink my limits
and the limits of what surrounds me.
From between my legs
is born the strength to understand
the world beyond binary conceptions.
From between my legs
an invigorating pleasure is born
and it makes me feel powerful.
Seeds For Resistance, 2017- ongoing, multidisciplinary (actions, works on paper, textile works)
STATEMENT:
Multidisciplinary project that stems from the conversations I have been having with my daughter. They are conversations about favorite colors, our bodies, super-(s)heros, comic books, feminism(s), illness, politics, sexuality, clothing, economics, racism, migration, fanzines, ecology, music, death, language and many other things. In progress.

About
<p>For over sixty years, Selma James has been organizing from the perspective of unwaged women who, with their biological and caring work, reproduce the whole human race—along with whatever other labor they are performing. This work goes on almost unnoticed everywhere on the planet and in every culture. When this work is not economically prioritized, politically protected, or socially supported there are dire consequences for the whole of humanity, beginning with women and children.</p>
<p>This much-anticipated follow-up to her first anthology,<span> </span><em>Sex, Race, and Class</em>, compiles several decades of James’s work with a focus on her more recent writings, including a groundbreaking analysis of C.L.R. James’s two masterpieces,<span> </span><em>The Black Jacobins</em><span> </span>and<span> </span><em>Beyond a Boundary</em>, and an account of her formative partnership with him over three decades. Her experience with the Caribbean movement for independence and federation is reflected in her introduction to Ujamaa, the extraordinary work of Tanzanians to bypass capitalism, and much more.</p>
<p>Steeped in the tradition of Marx urging the need for a “practical movement,” James recounts the unusual history of how autonomous organizations formed within the International Wages for Housework Campaign and reshaped it. Women of color, queer women, sex workers, women with disabilities … each independent but mutually accountable (including to the men’s network with whom they work) as they confront sexism, racism, deportation, rape, and other violence.</p>
<p>James makes the powerful argument that the climate justice movement can draw on all the movements’ people have formed to refuse their particular exploitation, to end the capitalist hierarchy that is destroying the world. Our time is now.</p>
