4. Maid in the USA

Carolina Mayorga is a Colombian-born and naturalized American interdisciplinary artist who has exhibited her work nationally and internationally for the last twenty years. Her work is part of national and international collections and has been reviewed in publications in South America, Europe and the US. Mayorga's artwork addresses issues of social and political content. Comments on migration, war, and identity are translated into video, performance, site-specific installations, and two-dimensional media in the form of photography and drawing. During her second participation in the Women and Migration(s) panel, Mayorga shared insights about Maid in the USA, an endurance performance art piece that comments on stereotyped views of roles played by women of Hispanic origin. The artist lives and works in Washington, DC. For more information visit: http://carolinamayorga.com/.
