MARGARITA CABRERA

Margarita Cabrera was born in 1973 in Monterrey, Mexico. She lived in Mexico City for ten years and then immigrated to the U.S. with her family. She received an MFA for Humter College in New York, NY.

Cabrera currently lives and works in El Paso, TX. She has worked on a number of collaborative projects at the intersection of contemporary art practices, indigenous Mexican Folk art and carft traditions, and US Mexico relations. In addition to studying and preserving endangered cultural and craft traditions, these projects have served as active invenstigations into the creation of just working and the protection of immigrant rights. Not content to make art about social problems, Cabrera is generating solutions to these problems through her art by creating FLOREZCA, Inc.
