XoQUE art in motion
Chicano/a/x art
Founded in 2020, XoQUE is a women’s border arts collective that enhances the dynamic interactions between artists, people, places and ideas that crash together through art and dialogue. XoQUE commits to innovation and experimentation that is participatory based as each artist and community member comes together to utilize their unique strengths to create hope for the future. This multi-media arts group is determined to hold space for authentic selfhood and give voice to a multiplex of identities through murals and installation art. Members include Berenice Badillo, Selina Calvo, Sandra Carmona, Jennifer Clay and Shirish Villaseñor.

Con Nuestras Manos Podemos: Chicana/x Preservation Project
In partnership with the Balboa Art Conservation Center, XoQUE will create a series of workshops that will provide hands-on conservation education to local artists utilizing a historic Chicano Park mural created on canvas that needs restoration. An onsite installation will highlight the actual restoration process and the need for preservation.
