jackie amezquita bricks new talent 1234743463

Jackie Amézquita, a Los Angeles-based artist originally from Guatemala, has developed a unique brick-making process using soil and masa de maíz (corn dough) mixed with organic materials like blue pea flower, cocoa, cochineal, and charcoal to create vibrant, colorful bricks. Her work, including the 2023 installation *El suelo que nos alimenta* commissioned by the Hammer Museum for the Made in L.A. biennial, uses soil from each of LA's neighborhoods to explore themes of migration, memory, and colonial legacies. Amézquita's practice is deeply personal, drawing on her family's migration history—her mother moved from Guatemala in 1987, and her grandmother fled Mexico during the Cristero War—and her own eight-day walk from Tijuana to LA, during which she collected soil samples as an archive of memory.

A brush with… Kader Attia—podcast

Kader Attia, the Algerian-French artist born in 1970, is the subject of a podcast interview that explores his three-decade career across photography, collage, sculpture, installation, and sound. Attia, who lives in Berlin and Paris, discusses his central concept of "repair" and how it connects to violence, injury, colonialism, and political issues. He reflects on his Algerian-French identity, his travels in Congo and Mexico, and his influences from Michelangelo to writers like Karima Lazali, Édouard Glissant, and Aimé Césaire. The podcast also highlights his current exhibitions, including "Shattering and Gathering our Traces" at Lehmann Maupin in New York, "The Lost Paradise" at Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo in Seville, and "A Descent into Paradise" at Museo Amparo in Puebla, Mexico, as well as his participation in the Bienal de São Paulo and the 24th Paiz Art Biennial.
