Andrea Cabrera 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 photography, 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 is currently a senior at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, from where she will receive her BFA in 2023, 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.
