Salvador Jiménez-Flores is an interdisciplinary artist whose studio practice encompasses community-based work including drawing, ceramics, printmaking, and mixed media sculpture. His work examines the politics of identity and the state of double consciousness, addressing issues of colonization, migration, the other, and representation. The works on view in this exhibition (produced during the artists participation in the John Michael Kohler Arts Center Arts/Industry program) address the desire to create a new space, a new reality, and new futures in the face of socially and politically challenging times; something Jiménez-Flores uses his position as a working artist as a platform to inform and generate community discourse around.
