Crear Studio: Artist Celebrates Oaxacalifornia

Crear Studio invites the community to a new exhibition, Brava by Alexa Vasquez.  Brava is a collection of experimental mixed-media sculptures, acrylic paintings, performances, and a site-specific installation.   A
collision of worlds and mediums, and a Oaxaqueña’s response to the cultural and familial expectations based on intergenerational place and time. Brava juxtaposes gender and rage with traditional Indigenous practices, while offering an altar of celebration.

Alexa Vasquez is a writer and artist from Oaxacalifornia. Her visual artworks are inspired by her birthplace, Oaxaca, and memories of growing up in an immigrant household, leaving home, transitioning and surviving trans womanhood.
