family history

ESPERANZA is a digital space for visual artists who make work in response to place, identity, family history, and memory.

the project is dedicated to my great-grandmother, Esperanza Balmaceda de Josefé, the Mexican communist feminist and social worker who fought for women’s rights, Pan-American feminism and equality for indigenous women.

this is an inclusive curatorial project that centers BIPOC, immigrants, women, and artists on the LGBTQIA+ spectrum.
