I’ve become a supporter of Ester Hernandez’s Artwork through this class. It’s interesting to see and artists care so deeply about a community and I really appreciate that she brings in the conversations for instance of the Sun-Maid to children and parents who can communicate about farmworkers and have that learning experience through art. And also using her artwork to show and talk about women as well. And also that she makes a strong effort to give back to the community. It no doubts by she a notable artist.
This artwork might not be seen as shocking today but it was when Hernandez produced this artwork and also a high risk on her point, however now this artwork has become notable and many thank Hernandez’s artwork and risktaking. It was also interesting to learn more about Non-binary I have done some of my own research to further my knowledge on this but, Now feel that I understand it better. Of sex being a social construct. And understand Cis Gender, Cis Normative. Gender Identity is how people communicate themselves through each other with clothes and appearance.
I connected to her stories and hearing her speak about her first experience or one of the first experiences in connecting with the earth when she realized she can leave a mark in this world. Also with printing being a helpful tool to spread information since your able to create multiple. And that shift and that disruption of seeing strong women and warrior women fighting and really utilizing strong women and feminist Chicana being seen and having a voice. And showing strong women. I think Hernandez has been able to carry next generations in-voicing for the community and social justice. She paved the way because she's been doing for so long.
