Carmen Lizardo - October 8, 2024

We talked with Carmen Lizardo. Lizardo’s artwork is shaped by her immigrant experience, which centers on displacement, the search for identity, and cultural heritage. She situates her personal experiences within a broader global context, drawing connections between her own narrative and overlooked histories. Lizardo’s work underscores the significance of finding one's place within the American cultural landscape, particularly for those from marginalized or immigrant backgrounds. Central to her artistic practice are issues surrounding immigration, race, and womanhood, which she explores in relation to identity formation, metamorphosis, and cultural hybridization.⁠
