Prisma Andrade
Prisma Andrade is a Chicago-based artist whose work blurs the lines between painting and textile, creating colorful landscapes one can see and touch. Her work deals with immigration as an act of trauma, examining her family’s journeys between Honduras, Spain, Texas and Chicago, stitching together the remnants of familial and cultural history which the descendants of immigrants are left with. She uses cultural traditions of craft-making, once reserved to the domestic sphere of her female ancestors, to confront the gender roles of the Latin American family diaspora.
