This final research post will be over the contemporary artist Tanya Aguiñiga who is well known for her distinctive approach to sculpture and textile art. Aguiñiga’s work is renowned for examining the connections between social justice, design, and craft. Her art is strongly influenced by her Mexican-American ethnicity and her experiences growing up on both sides of the US-Mexico border. She frequently employs traditional textile techniques from Mexico to produce expansive installations that deal with problems like environmental degradation, labor, and migration. The tactile texture of Aguiñiga’s art encourages the observer to interact with it on a sensory level. Aguiñiga is a community organizer and activist in addition to her artistic activity. In 1988, she assisted in establishing the Border Artists Workshop ‘Taller de Arte Fronterizo’ and has collaborated with multiple organizations that advocate for social justice and support immigrant rights. Aguiñiga’s work stands as a powerful example of how art can be used to address complex social and political issues.
