(Paola de la Calle)
Artist Paola de la Calle plays with images that recall her childhood and her family s homeland in Colombia. Through them she creates symbols that explore themes of citizenship and the politics of food. Bananas, tv satellites, door knocker hoops, sugar cane, and social security cards, to name a few, repeat in her work. She experiments with these images and themes across mediums. Paola s linocut prints, embellished flags, collaged posters and ceramics ask viewers to dig deeper into the colorful imagery.
Most recently, Paola was invited by a coalition of San Francisco based organizations to lead the art contingent of a campaign called Caravan for the Children. It s focused on the first 100 days of the Biden-Harris administration and seeks to raise awareness for the release, reunification, and healing of the 600+ young people separated from their families in U.S. detention centers.
