Zilia Sánchez

The artist was born in Cuba. She lives and works in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Her life’s work is inspired by one moment. Once on her way home to Cuba, she saw a bedsheet that had been hung out to dry, but was shaped from being blown against a pipe.

Creating a "them" is the first step in dehumanization. In our world, there is no "them," there is only "us." Thank you for joining us.
