I refused to be blind to the abuses of a educational system that continues to be increasingly guided by corporate concerns, insensitive to what these abuses do and continue to do to our children. I refused to be a dum-dum. This sculpture shows my eyes falling from my head, my heart torn from my body. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dd9c789722ee0060d1b7b1d/1760064037858-YYP1HV9A64EWAVXW7Z53/1-The+Forgotten.jpg Art Work - Drownings Triptych #1: The Forgotten 40” x 24” woven wool tapestry So often Americans travel to Central or South America to purchase rugs that are pretty never thinking about the people who actually make them, never thinking about what the designs mean. This piece is the first of a triptych inspired by a photo taken by Julie LeDuc in 2019. The photo shows the drowned bodies of Óscar Alberto Martinez Ramirez and his 23-month-old daughter, Valeria—drowned while trying to cross the Rio Grande River. Their long arduous journey from El Salvador to a better life ended on the garbage strewn banks of a raging river. This rug design contains simplified design elements of the father’s bare legs and the child’s red short. I hope the stories of this family and other people forced from their homes will not be forgotten. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dd9c789722ee0060d1b7b1d/1760150769532-VUMLUJ3RWX3HWXMQZP74/Self-Portrait+in+Parts.jpeg Art Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dd9c789722ee0060d1b7b1d/1704945453311-VBT2K2PFT8X2AQFM25TD/Blumenkohl_8-10.jpg Art Work https://www.lourdesguerrero.com/exhibitions daily 0.75 2025-10-10 https://www.lourdesguerrero.com/exhibitions/west-loop-art-expo monthly 0.5 2025-10-10 https://www.lourdesguerrero.com/exhibitions/west-loop-art-expo-first-look-preview monthly 0.5 2025-10-10 https://www.lourdesguerrero.com/exhibitions/an-art-chalet monthly 0.5 2025-08-31 https://www.lourdesguerrero.com/exhibitions/studio-window-1-ms34e monthly 0.5 2025-08-03 https://www.lourdesguerrero.com/exhibitions/studio-window-1-me46r monthly 0.5 2025-08-03 https://www.lourdesguerrero.com/exhibitions/studio-window-1 monthly 0.5 2025-08-03 https://www.lourdesguerrero.com/exhibitions/09gcfizky1acf6qu6d60wx0uuxyki2 monthly 0.5 2025-07-21 https://www.lourdesguerrero.com/exhibitions/studio-window monthly 0.5 2025-07-21 https://www.lourdesguerrero.com/exhibitions/agency-craft-in-chicago-from-the-1970s-80s-and-beyond-extended-through-sunday-january-26-2025 monthly 0.5 2025-01-02 https://www.lourdesguerrero.com/new-index-1 daily 0.75 2025-10-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dd9c789722ee0060d1b7b1d/4fb0cfc7-67f0-4c6a-b488-5ab141be263b/MitlaWall.jpg Stories https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dd9c789722ee0060d1b7b1d/1760059537610-NW5ZU4P85SK2N5MLM682/1977_High+Wave_16x9.jpg Stories https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dd9c789722ee0060d1b7b1d/1760060006813-68YTYC80R4G0H4D3DMI4/I+Would+Not+Teach2-3.3MB.JPG Stories https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dd9c789722ee0060d1b7b1d/1760061486152-8RRKE2BSBHNV1M1AJO8Y/2004_MitlaWall_8x10.jpg Stories https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dd9c789722ee0060d1b7b1d/1760062105099-SUSH4ULISFJ563SN2ZOS/Justice+Reneged-5.3MB.JPG Stories https://www.lourdesguerrero.com/about daily 0.75 2020-01-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dd9c789722ee0060d1b7b1d/1575840056616-I68RREZJMG7BYSJZH1NZ/Lourdes+S+Guerrero%2C+artist%2C+with+friend.JPG About https://www.lourdesguerrero.com/contact daily 0.75 2019-12-14
