Marisa de la Peña
Canela Medicine, 2022
Marisa de la Peña is an artist and researcher whose current work revolves around the role of horror in art and media and its power to subvert settler colonialism. From reappropriating the tropes that have rendered Indigeneity invisible, to engaging Xicane and Yoeme methods of storytelling by creating edible sculptures on conversations about dispossession and consumption, her practice hopes to haunt and nourish audiences involved. Her work has been published and featured by Taschen Books, Harper Collins, UO, and DC Shoes. De la Peña received her BFA in Textiles from the California College of the Arts in 2012 and an MFA Department of Art at the University of California at Santa Barbara, where she is currently a teaching fellow in the College of Creative Studies and an active member of UPROOT Artist coalition.
