Margaret
‘Quica’ Alarcón
Artivist Scholar, Educator, Cultural Worker
My work investigates the evolution of feminine identity and the impact of civilization. Cultural history and memory as processes inspire my work and are designed to encourage dialog about the transformation that occurs when connecting with the wisdom of ancient instinct. I follow my intuition, or what Gloria Anzaldúa refers to as La Facultad.
My process is cerebral, instinctual and intentional. It involves the exploration, discovery and release of feminine trauma inspired by ancient aboriginal symbols, ceremonies and practices.
In the adoption and modification of these materials and images, culture is re-interpreted and passed on with the hope that I may offer something meaningful for future generations.
