LifeART // Art Exhibit 2018

Erica Alexia Ledesma (she/they) was born and raised on the ancestral lands of the Takelma also known as the Rogue Valley of Oregon. Their roots are in the Wixaritari and the Chichimeca lands, also known as Nayarit & Zacatecas, México. Erica is a visual artist, story gather, and cultural organizer in her community.

“In my community, I use visual art and storytelling as a way to build a sense of collective memory and connection. Being surrounded by my community has allowed for so much personal healing in my life. With the help of those around me, I have begun to see my culture without looking through the lens of the colonizer. I see our culture for what it is and what it means to me, personally. I use my art to express the way I feel, to allow space for those who need it, and to imagine a better world.”

find strength within

 our bodies carry memories. we carry the stories of who we are and where we come from. roots that our ancestors wove perfectly.
