Using lessons from the earth to decolonize art 🌏 Suzy González (She/They) is an artist, writer, curator, and organizer based in San Antonio, TX. González uses “Mestizx Media” in her art which she describes as the practice of using multiple types of media that originate from the regions of one’s ancestors. “For myself, in embodying a neo-Mestiza/Xicana identity, I recognize where my art materials originate. While acrylic paints have Mexican origins, oil paints have European origins, and materials like the corn husk have Indigenous origins. I relate each material to a part of my identity and recognize when they stay separate or are mixed. This material analysis speaks to gendered ideas of nature and culture as well as the dichotomy of craft/folk art and ‘fine art.” 🎨#SuzyGonzález 🏛️@museoeduardocarrillo ‘What the World Needs Now’ 📅2019 “Three Sisters” 📅2018 “Evaporate (Sun)” 📅2020 “Reaching” 📅2018 “Home Again” 📅2019 “Precipitate (Rain)” 📅2020 “Hand Over Heart” 📅2019 “Condense (Cloud)” 📅2020 “Lookout” 📅2019
