About the artist
Luis Sahagun is an artist whose practice confronts the palpable inescapability of race and transforms art into an act of cultural and spiritual reclamation. As the grandson of a Curandera, and himself a practitioner of Curanderismo, when Luis makes art, he conjures indigenous spiritualities to embody the aesthetics of personal histories, cultural resistance, and colonial disruption.
