Join us here at the HUB for an artist talk with MARNmentee Andrea Cabrera Manuel on Friday, April 12th at 5:30 pm!
Familiar Voices is a conversation about the current state of the art practice, how it has changed and adapted after leaving art school. She will talk about the projects developed during the last year, and how the mentorship program helped as she tries to understand how to sustain a life-long practice.
This event is free and open to the public. Donations are kindly accepted in support of the MARNmentorship Program.
About:
Andrea Cabrera Manuel (she/they) is a Mexican interdisciplinary artist currently living and working in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Drawn to the process and labor production, she started to experiment with mixed media, such as textiles, sculpture and sound, which have allowed her to explore the body in relation to emotional/physical labor as well as relationships, community and space making. Specifically, she focuses on how the process of artistic production, such as sculpting with clay and intertwining textiles, can allow us to confront the lack of emotional education in our society, which has prevented us from understanding the intricacies of our reactions and interactions with our surroundings. Andrea received her BFA in the Spring of 2023 from the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, majoring in New Studio Practice. In the future, she hopes to not only expand her own practice, but also nurture and explore the social power of art by teaching, as well as bringing art approaches to social projects in local communities.
