In this episode, Daisy Astudillo speaks with Patricia Hernandez, a LATINX/ indigenous diaspora artist who is a cultural organizer and self-taught artist. Patricia discusses the memories of her young adulthood on Buford Highway, how her multicultural friendships helped shape her narrative, and the stigmatization of being a Latina and single mother in the artist community.
Patricia’s story of interconnectedness and mutual understanding between immigrants will resonate with listeners because she believes honoring our culture, traditions, communities, and families unite us all to our core memories and self-identity.
Patricia, alongside artist Nicole Kang Ahn, recently worked with us on a community newsletter stand for Buford Highway. If you want to see Patricia’s colorful, vibrant artwork, check out these links:
