This week Miranda speaks with Jessica Sabogal an artist whose work lives at the intersection of public space, portraiture, and collective care. Raised in a Colombian immigrant household in the Bay Area, Jess took a winding road from pre-med to political science to the studio and the street, scaling early stencil experiments into landmark murals and all rooted in print.
They talk about her journey to finding her visual voice of bold portraiture rooted in intimacy, interview, and symbolism. As well as her ongoing collaborative practice with partner and printmaker Shauna Strauss and their multi-year project “This Woman’s Work,” honoring the often-invisible labor of women, femmes, and nonbinary folks through layered processes like photopolymer, screenprint, and chine collé. And so much more!
