Artists’ Biography:

Cazorla + Saleme are a Latin American aunt and niece artist duo who joined forces in 2010 to create compelling artworks investigating critical social issues. Based in Newark, NJ, since 2011, the duo creates public art and mixed-media works that merge the urban landscape with the human experience. Their luminous, fluorescent palette and layered compositions express resilience, memory, and transformation—an aesthetic of hope that invites collective reflection.

As educators, Cazorla + Saleme have developed inclusive bilingual art programs for seniors, families, and intergenerational audiences in collaboration with institutions such as the Brooklyn Public Library, Newark Public Library, and Lehman College Art Gallery. Their teaching philosophy mirrors their art: a shared space for learning, care, and empowerment.

This program is made possible by Advancing Latinx Art in Museums, an initiative to nurture and prioritize US Latinx art supported by the Ford Foundation, the Getty Foundation, the Mellon Foundation, and the Terra Foundation for American Art.
