Sandy Rodriguez is a Los Angeles-based painter, raised on the border between California and Mexico, whose work investigates the methods and materials of painting across cultures and histories. Her Codex Rodriguez-Mondragón is made up of a collection of maps and paintings about the intersections of history, social memory, contemporary politics, and cultural production. The series pays homage to Indigenous artists and the history of migration between the Americas and raises awareness about immigration injustices. Rodriguez has exhibited at a number of regional institutions, including the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego, Art + Practice, Los Angeles, and the Riverside Art Museum. Rodriguez and her work have been featured in the Los Angeles Times, on KCET, Spectrum News 1, and on several radio programs, including KCRW’s Press Play, CBC’s Radio-Canada Hour le Monde, KQED’s Statewide Report, and KPCC’s Off Ramp.
