For 2021 Latinx Artist Fellow Adriana Corral, the research process is critical to unearthing harrowing stories from US-Mexico border that demand wider recognition. “In this past year, I have been able to immerse myself fully in the research necessary” to unveil a series of works that focus on “delousing practices”—used along the US-Mexico border beginning early in the 20th century—in which “toxic chemicals were applied to men and women entering the nation.” This summer, Corral’s “A Palimpsest Item No. 1” was featured in the exhibition “Eyes of the Skin” at the Lehmann Maupin Gallery, making use of ink, lithographic crayon, pen, and National Archives documents. -- #AdrianaCorral #LatinxArtistFellowship #latinxart #contemporaryart #art #artists #arthistory #museums @lehmannmaupin @harpofoundation @joanmitchellfdn @macdowell1907 @artpace @moodygallery @blafferartmuseum @ut_aah @texasexes @utep_miners @utepalumni @fordfoundation @nyfacurrent @USLAForum #hispanicheritagemonth
