Q&A with Artist & 'Life-Long Brat' Alondra M. Garza 

Artist Statement 
 &nbsp;My current practice focuses on combining figuration and abstraction in my paintings and sculpture as a framework for referencing Black bodies in emotional transformation. I feel it’s important to share the anecdotes of struggle and perseverance that have defined the Black race in a conceptual and impactful way. I see the need for alternate voices to be heard in our art institutions to inform, reflect and develop interest about the Black experience for future generations. I want to create a concrete space that stays true to this place in time.
