Bold Women
Mexican American women have largely been erased from conventional historical narratives, including their participation in the construction of U.S. railroads. Concerned with historical erasure and ancestral trauma, Kandace Creel Falcón portrays the domestic labor of Mexican American women to claim their place in history and public consciousness. In this painting, Falcón also honors artist Yolanda López, incorporating her motif of the woman sewing while adding the Santa Fe railroad logo. Both artists encourage social change through storytelling.
