Description
In this episode, I chat with Mexican-American interdisciplinary artist and oral historian Tamara Santibañez. Tamara is a queer and trans artist whose work is rooted in storytelling and the visual language of identity construction, exploring subcultural semiotics and the meanings we make from bodily adornment. Listen to this episode to hear us chat about how their immigrant mother felt about their choice to go into tattooing, why they chose to pursue a Master's in Oral History, and what you should consider before entering the tattooing field.

03: Gay Chicanx Collage Artist, Ruby Marquez | @Broobs: Welcome to this week’s episode of Draws in Spanish where I chat with queer Chicanx collage artist, Ruby Marquez aka @Broobs on Instagram. Ruby and I get existential about what it “means to be Latinx,” the risks associated with making Selena fan art, using art as a coping strategy, and how Ruby processes the pressure to be perfect on social media. Ruby also divulges how they go about collecting source material for their collection, moving into music production, and why connecting with your culture is so much more than tracing your bloodline. Join me on this week’s episode to learn more about Ruby’s complex story as a queer Mexican-American artist. by Draws in Spanish | Conversations with Latinx Visual Artists and Designers
