SUMMARY:Changarrito Residency: Carla Santillana
DESCRIPTION:NumbOil on Paper 16” x 20”2025\n\n\n\n\n\nPricklyOil on Denim54” x 30”2025\n\n\n\n\n\nMis queridas botas rojasOil on Paper 16” x 20”2025\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Artist\n\n\n\nCarla Santillana is an artist and art educator from Brownsville\, Texas\, based in San Antonio. Working across oil painting\, stitched textile collage\, and works on paper\, she balances studio practice with community engagement and arts education. Santillana holds a Master’s in Art Education from Texas Tech University and a Bachelor’s in Art Education from the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. Recent exhibitions include Sacred Spaces (Flower Shop Art Studio\, Brownsville\, 2025)\, Mujer-Eres: Raíces (San Benito Cultural Center\, 2025)\, Zine Gala (The Brick\, San Antonio\, 2025)\, and That Which Binds Us (Cactus Valley Art & Supply Co.\, Harlingen\, 2025). \n\n\n\nArtist Statement\n\n\n\nMy current work explores how rage is manifested\, inherited\, and released in the body. As a woman from a maternal lineage where frustration was often contained or dismissed\, I use this anger as a passage towards healing and agency. I treat denim as a representation of flesh. Its flexible\, resilient fibers mirror the body’s capacity to store and release trauma. Denim provides an intimate connection to my body while meeting me with its own material resistance and autonomy. These works give voice to the women in my family\, who have been historically overlooked. Rage here becomes the catalyst for agency\, a force I strive to redirect toward healing\, forgiveness\, and growth. \n\n\n\n\nLook at Carla’s work\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChangarrito Cart – April 2\,3\,16 in San Antonio & 18-19 in Austin\n\n\n\nArtists have the opportunity to sell their art on the Changarrito cart in front of the Museum (or an offsite location\, as representative for the Museum during various Austin festivals). Changarreando expands the reach of the artist by presenting their gallery online\, while allowing the option to sell merch over Instagram and receive 100% of the sale. \n\n\n\nCarla will be featuring her artwork on April 2nd\, 3rd\,16th in San Antonio at Print Matrix Space\, 1420 South Alamo\, from 6 – 10 PM. Then on April 18th & 19th from 12 – 3 PM in front of Mexic-Arte Museum on the Changarrito Cart. \n\n\n\nFollow us on Instagram and Facebook for updates on original work available for purchase and behind the scenes of the artist’s work\, space\, and creative process. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChangarrito Interview
