Mujer Artista is pleased to present The Body Reimagined, a virtual talk by Alexandra Garrido. 

As a mentor in the current Mujer Artista project cycle, she will give a talk about her art practice rooted in dance and performance.

In this talk, she will discuss navigating times of transition, re-thinking/re-imagining where value and worth reside as a dance artist, person and mother. She will talk about creating work while riding imposter syndrome, flipping the narrative and reclaiming space for her creative voice.

Mujer Artista

In 2014, after a series of conversations between Latin Canadian women artists Cecilia Araneda (filmmaker, curator), Praba Pilar (interdisciplinary artist) and Monica Martinez (visual artist), we came up with the idea of participating in an artistic process from the starting point of collective dialogue.

We named this initiative Mujer Artista.

From our core group of three, Mujer Artista gradually expanded and shifted, gathering Latine artists based in the Prairies.
