The exhibition explores the enigmatic relation between people to objects, objects to memories, memories to place, and place to people. Ramirez uses the intersections between painting and sculpture to search for comfort in the in-between and unravel what that space consists of. In-between places, in-between people, in-between experiences, and in-between cultures. This exhibition invites viewers to seek the dimensions of self that define us in relation to our surrounding environment and challenge the abstract notions of identity and place. Reyna Cecilia Ramirez was born in Jalisco, Mexico in 1999 and moved to Dallas in 2004. She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with a concentration in painting and a minor in art history from the University of Texas at Arlington. In 2022, she was awarded the IDEA Fellowship through UTA which commenced a passion for curation. Through the production of local rotating shows and art events with the non-profit organization Cima Arts, Ramirez is actively involved in serving the community that is congruent to her development as an artist. Most recently, Ramirez was awarded the 2024 Clare Hart DeGolyer Memorial Fund grant from the Dallas Museum of Art. The mission of the Latino Cultural Center is to serve as a regional catalyst for the preservation and development of Latino and Hispanic arts and culture through varied exhibitions, bilingual public programs, educational activities, festivals and special events.
