Artist, Marissa Baez

Marissa Baez's work is influenced by suppressed Mexican American history, death, ancestry, material, and decolonization. Conversations with Latinx and Indigenous academics and artists led Baez to expand their perspective on navigating a state of in-between.

They address inter-generational trauma and the resilience of marginalized bodies through a combination of photography, performance, sculpture, and material-based installations. Baez has a show at La Mecha Contemporary titled Calm Waters.
