ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Currently teaching, parenting, and creating on opposite coasts, sisters Lisa and Janelle Iglesias produce playful work in a variety of mediums, engaging with issues such as community, feminism and cultural hybridity. Las Hermanas Iglesias’ artworks draw on their identities as the children of Dominican and Norwegian immigrants and highlight relationships between family members as well as individuals in society, tying the personal to larger cultural systems and promoting cooperation and collectivity. Over the past 20 years, their practice has evolved to include a number of team efforts and variations such as their frequent collaboration with their mother, Bodhild. Lisa Iglesias is an associate professor of the department of art studio at Mount Holyoke College and Janelle Iglesias is an assistant professor at University of California San Diego.
