Coverage of student collaboration for Mano-Made: New Expression in Craft by Latino Artists, Consuelo Jimenez Underwood, Craft in America Center, Los Angeles, CA​


National Association of Latino Arts and Cultures, Grantee Announcement
Consuelo is honored to be a 2016 recipient of a NALAC Master Artist Grant, to fund mentorship of LA artist, Sheila Rodriguez, in the creation of collaborative new work for 
Mano-Made: New Expression in Craft by Latino Artists, Consuelo Jimenez Underwood at Craft in America Center, Los Angeles, CA in partnership with Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA, a Getty initiative.

Haro, Estephany. "Need and Thread, the art of Consuelo Jimenez Underwood." El Observador (April 21, 2017).

Dalati, Sammy. "Craft that Crosses the Americas." Modern Magazine (August 22, 2017).
2016
Jenkins, Mark. "These stories of displaced families are told in fabric, needle and thread." The Washington Post (August 4, 2016).
2015
Rushworth, Katherine. "Immigration and border politics through the eye of a weaver." Syracuse.com (November 17, 2015).
     All of Underwood's work is visually engaging and conceptually compelling, which makes it easier to begin a conversation on the topic of border control. "If I can remove the anger and hatred when it comes to this nationalist view of the border, then I am winning," Underwood said.
Horn, Amanda. ​"Artists moving beyond the borders of tradition." Reno Gazette-Journal (March 26, 2015).
Luciano, Josie. "Mother lands: Consuelo Jimenez Underwood." Reno News and Review (March 5, 2015).
     From a distance, her art is a thing of beauty. But under the surface, the artist's murals, quilts and woven rebozos belie the cultural agitation and environmental consequences that come with imposed borders.
