About the exhibit:
Prideful celebration meets raw historical introspection in Seguimos Aquí, the first solo exhibit by multidisciplinary artist Alejandra González Díaz. This Puerto Rican art show has a central message: it embraces the dynamic spirit of Puerto Rican culture while inviting viewers to confront and reflect on its complex and often painful history.
Curated with passion and purpose, this exhibition fuses visual installations that explore both triumphant cultural narratives, such as the preservation of traditions and indigenous ancestry, and challenging episodes of the past, including eugenics, mass sterilizations, and colonization. Witness how each artwork, enriched by Hispanic, Indigenous, and African influences, reflects a community that has transformed adversity into resilience and hope.
About the artist:
Alejandra González Díaz (b. Caguas, Puerto Rico) is an interdisciplinary artist and model based in Atlanta, raised in Tampa. She centers Puerto Rican culture and her life experiences in her work. Alejandra creates visual art, developing a neo-expressionist and surrealist style across acrylic paintings, papier-mâché masks, and small sculptures. Influenced by artists like Frida Kahlo, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Salvador Dali, and Gustav Klimt, her pieces explore survival, identity, and communal care, with art serving as testimony and a lifeline amid mental health and life challenges.
After moving to Atlanta to pursue art full-time, Alejandra broadened her practice to include performance‑inflected projects and collaborative shoots as extensions of her visual language. She creates art from a place of radical honesty, inviting others to start where they are, keep going, and find strength in shared creativity.
