Tour & Talk: Tuesday, August 4, 2026; 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.Ivette Chaires, the 2024 Julia Zagar Residency for Women Artists recipient, is an multidisciplinary artist deeply influenced by her surroundings. She uses sculpture, printmaking, and photography to explore traditional themes in Mexican Folk Art. Living in Puebla, Mexico, Chaires draws inspiration from local traditions such as Día de Muertos, which led her to specialize in cartonería, a traditional Mexican craft of creating papier-mâché sculptures, figures, and decorative objects by layering paper and glue over a framework and painting or embellishing them. For the past 15 years, she has focused on traditional cartonería, creating calaveras and teaching workshops, blending craftsmanship with cultural storytelling. In Living Through Death, Chaires merges contemporary imagery with traditional techniques and patterns.
