“They say a song is a memory palace. If that is true, here I stay rooted between the tracks of our present and future ancestors. Here is where I make my home.”
Today, we feature a mix from one of our very own Chulitas - the mix comes directly from their vinyl collection.
This mix comes directly from CVC Austin, Chulita Mira Mira’s collection.
#XochiSolis is an Austin, TX-based mixed media artist. Her works include multilayered, collaged paintings constructed from paint, hand-dyed paper, vinyl, plastics, and images from found books and magazines. Solis considers the repeated act of layering a meditation on color, texture, and shape, all leading to a greater awareness of the visual intricacies found in her immediate environment, both natural and cultural. Solis shares her studio time between Texas and Mexico. As an accomplished artist and leader in her community with over 15 years of experience, Solis is enthusiastic about continuing to transform her practice as a cultural producer into a vehicle for active citizenship and civic responsibility. In addition to her studio practice, she manages and spins records with Austin chapter of Chulita Vinyl Club. xochisolis.com / @xochisolis
