Our spring member drive is happening now. Will you help us reach our goal of $50,000 by May 13 so we can reach even more San Antonio readersIn late February, 10 San Antonio artists selected by UTSA’s Democratizing Racial Justice research program gathered on campus to kick off a yearlong residency aiming to further their social justice-themed work.
Some among the 10 artists knew each other and some were meeting for the first time, but Barrera said all made a commitment to “support each other’s work and process” during their residency terms, spread out over spring, summer and fall terms.Barrera will set aside her popular Donkey Lady persona to become the Lechuza, a legendary owl-witch figure with ancient origins and a distinctive presence in the Rio Grande Valley where Barrera grew up.
San Antonio-based artist Marisela Barrera, who personifies the lore of the Donkey Lady through theatrical performances, engages with visitors during a FotoSeptiembre event Slab Cinema Arthouse in 2022.Barrera said life in Texas has become politicized, and whenever she takes the stage, she’s “entering a politicized dialogue just for existing in some spaces.”
“As a woman of color, as a Chicana from South Texas, my worldview is just shaped by that experience of growing up in poverty,” she said. “How the forces of power shaped the reality of marginalized folks is something that just permeates my work.”
