Rubio's tongue-in-cheek comics and artworks bridge high culture with kitsch while exploring constructions of mixed-race identity

Through her work, Mexican artist Wendy Cabrera Rubio (born 1993) investigates the temporal and narrative traces of Mexican identity, a history marked by the creation of a nationalism whose fixation on an Indigenous past wanders into the present. She is part of a generation of artists revisiting the history of Mexican arts and crafts with a multidisciplinary and pedagogical approach. Her practice explores the production and distribution of images; using strategies such as appropriation and performance, Rubio condenses arts and crafts, history and storytelling. This book focuses on the construction of mestizaje (meaning mixed race) and the differences between a popular art and a cultured art.
