la facultad (2020)

la facultad is an ongoing series that highlights women and femmes of color and the daily rituals they/we undertake as a means of self-healing, self-discovery, and self-protection. Inspired by Gloria Anzaldúa’s concept, “la facultad,” this series seeks to expound on conversations of healing and emotionality among women and femmes of color by centering seemingly mundane practices, and rendering them as sacred components of one’s everyday life and healing practice. By employing both images and words, the project aims to normalize women of color as agents in our own journeys toward healing and bodily autonomy.

The series exhibited in April 2021 at Art West Gallery in Chicago.
