Happy Hispanic Heritage Month!  We’re kicking off the month long celebration with two INCREDIBLE Latin Rosies, Ana Mendieta & Juana Inés de la Cruz.

Ana Mendieta, a Cuban-American artist known for her groundbreaking works in sculpture, paint, video, and performance art, left an indelible mark on the art world. Often associated with the "earth-body" style, Mendieta's art explored themes of identity, belonging, feminism, violence, life, and death. Her life, which began with privilege but was marked by displacement and hardship, serves as a testament to her resilience and determination to express her unique perspective through her art.

Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz stands as an iconic figure in Latin American history, celebrated as the first great Latin American poet and a pioneering feminist. Her remarkable life journey, from a forbidden reader in her grandfather's library to a controversial intellectual in the colonial viceroy's court, to her ultimate dedication to the Church as Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, continues to inspire and captivate audiences worldwide.
