Meet Native Futures Artist Sarah Rosalena 

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 18:01:15 GMT

Sarah Rosalena (Wixárika) is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher who merges Native craft traditions with futures technology in a bid to transcend colonial narratives. Her use of mediums and materials is informed by research into history and science, and reflective of personal, cultural, and societal experiences. Her new site-specific sculptural installation at LA State Historic Park, For Submersion—a project of Clockshop in partnership with The Chapter House—recalls that the park’s location was the floodplain of Paayme Paxaayt, the Los Angeles River. Decorating a river rock with mixed media Wixárika yarn-painting, before 3-D scanning and digitally fabricating the outdoor sculpture, Rosalena created an anachronistic object both of this world and from the future, squarely at the center of the current discourse on both Indigenous rights and natural resources—as well as the connecting the realms of textile and tech-based art practices. Interestingly, the LASHP installation was de...
