A fortuitous reunion has spurred a collaboration of dance, music poetry and visual art between the San Antonio Museum of Art , Carver Community Cultural Center and the Guadalupe Dance Company. exhibition brings together three monumental portrait paintings made by Rodríguez-Díaz in the early 1990s. Two of the paintings, were donated to the museum in 2013 by former San Antonio author Sandra Cisneros. Success! You're on the list.
The exhibition also includes ancient figurines and video art by Ana Mendieta, a Cuban American artist noted for her body-based artwork. Meador secured the video loan from New York-based, which also provided funding for public event programming around the exhibition. “The three paintings were such an inspiration for me,” Guerra said. “My inspiration was the struggle and the frustration to try to fit it into what everybody expects us to be like and look like.”
