Meet Terrestrial Testimony Artist Jackie Amézquita

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:20:20 GMT

Jackie Amézquita works along a continuum of performance, craft, communal action, conceptual frameworks, and profound storytelling that reaches into her own life and out toward a broader diasporic embrace. First gaining wide attention with her remarkable 2018 work Huellas que Germinan (Footprints That Sprout), in which she walked the distance from the border at Tijuana to her home in Los Angeles as a gesture of investigative solidarity with the immigrants who’ve done the same, Amézquita’s practice has expanded to include further objects and embodied actions around soil, masa (corn), limestone, salt and copper—the elements of the earth.
