Welcome back to The Current Corner!
In this video, visual artist Cristina Martinez discusses Emilio Amero’s Fiesta.
“This piece was initially very comforting to me because it reminded me of something I would see in my grandmother’s house while growing up. I was raised by the Mexican side of my family and there were a lot of colorful pieces of art that depicted women, and flowers, and beautiful textures and patterns.”
