Alicia María Siu (Nahuat Pipil Maya Poqomam (El Salvador/Honduras), Cantonese Diaspora) is a San Diego-based artist engaged in the uplifting of collective memory. Often in direct collaboration with community members, Siu’s work explores topics such as immigration, collective cultural wisdom, and diaspora, especially highlighting the effects of and efforts against empire, dispossession, and state violence.
Siu’s art crafts narratives and commemorations of movements toward decolonization, Central American liberation, and resistance. In this talk, she will speak about the inspiration and trajectory of her artistic practice, as well as showcase some of her current work, much of which is present in San Diego.
