Exhibition Dates: May 26th through November 7th, 2026

Rosemary Meza-DesPlas, a multidisciplinary Latina artist, incorporates fiber art, drawing, installation, painting, performance art, and video into her studio practice. The human figure takes center stage in her artwork. Amplifying the voices of women, her work reflects the female experience within a patriarchal society. Socio-cultural issues, gender-based burdens, political agency, and ethnic stereotypes, are explored through an intersectional feminist lens.

“As a multidisciplinary artist, I create figurative artworks exploring the intersection of gender inequality, political agency, and cultural misconceptions. Challenging beauty standards, the feminine body is portrayed with attention to veracity. Portraiture work emphasizes the mutable nature of the face. My studio practice varies from labor intensive hand-stitched hair art to large on-site, multimedia installations.”
