Sandra de la Loza is a Los Angeles based artist who creates open-ended, research-based frameworks to guide inquiries that include visual, experimental, social and pedagogical components. Working as a performative archivist, she moves critically from and in between the institutional and the social occupying a variety of sites to interrogate underlying power dynamics and knowledge production through history and memory. Her work has been exhibited in major museums, alternative art spaces and community centers within the United States, Latin America and Europe. She has co-created autonomous spaces for artistic production, community action and critical dialogue that center the voices and history of people of color including Arts in Action (2000-2004), Decolonize LA (2016-2017) and at land’s edge (2016-2018).
