I visually reinterpret my family’s intergenerational immigration stories. I create bold lithograp hs and detailed etchings depicting these experiences\, as well as reflecti ng on Mexican and Mexican Americans’ cultural and economic contributions to the United States. My work pays homage to my Mexican culture\, drawing on visual reference from Mexican traditions\, foods\, and language. Withi n my artwork\, I highlight the importance of holding on to one’s own cul ture as a method of resistance\, pride\, and celebration.\nI accept the re sponsibility to use my artwork and voice to advocate for and expose my aud ience to social-political issues that impact my community. Transformation in societal thought and immigration policies in the U.S. could mean living in a society without fear of family separation\, providing opportunities to undocumented communities\, and hope for a better world.\nAbout the arti stJuana Estrada Hernández utilizes her experiences growing up in the Unit ed States to create work that addresses social and political problems surr ounding her migrant communities. Her creative practice stems from her love of drawing\, Mexican folklore\, culture\, and her family’s intergenerat ional migration stories.\nEstrada Hernández received her BFA in printmaki ng from Fort Hays State University and MFA in printmaking from the Univers ity of New Mexico. She is currently an assistant professor of printmaking at the Rhode Island School of Design. She has exhibited in the U.S.\, Mexi co\, Canada\, United Kingdom\, Australia\, and Poland. Her work has appear ed in Migratory Yellow Pages\, Hyperallergic Magazine\, Printmaking Today\ , and on the “Hello Print Friend” podcast. Her work is held in the Jan et Turner Print Museum\, Chicago Printmakers Collaborative\, Zygote Press Archives\, Laval University\, Engramme\, and the National Library and Arch ives of Québec.\nExhibition and events are free and open to all.

They serve as an alter ego\, and a comedic\, nostalgic coping mechanism. This exhibition addresses childhood trauma tha t is complicated for the artist and can be for the audience. A cartoon sty le makes the bark of these memories have less bite and suggests a sweetnes s to the recollection. Cartoons subvert the expectations of childhood inno cence while also exposing the fragility and youth that accompany it in rea lity. The child wishes that all those memories could be fixed\, but that d ay will never come.
