MOLAA Zoom Project: In Conversation with Gabriella Sanchez

In each chapter, MOLAA Chief Curator Gabriela Urtiaga talks with the most remarkable artists from Latin America and Latinx in the US. Their conversation places the focus on a series or specific artwork which requires a close inspection and deliberate process of contemplation and exploration; delving into the ideas surrounding the creation of the works, their sources of research and inspiration, in an effort to immerse ourselves in the world of the artists.

In this chapter of the MOLAA Zoom Project we get a close look at the work of multi-disciplinary artist Gabriella Sanchez, who employs a range of artistic expression from abstraction to portraiture, with a
particular focus on both form and language within the perspectives of art, design, and psychology. This is done to reexamine, re-image, and reimagine themes from her own life and the life of her loved ones which address issues of class in relation to: labor, race, addiction, gender, education, imprisonment and system-induced death
