MCC Lounge
Pasadena-based artist Vibiana Aparicio-Chamberlin honors her Mexican family and culture through art. Her work is vibrant, colorful, and highly personal: “Often I act on what moves me emotionally in an unjust world or in my personal life. Then I play on the canvas.” But not just on the canvas. She employs mixed media and assemblage; she makes altars, installations, etchings, and prints. “Of concern for me are struggling immigrant families and workers, abused women, children, and elders, and the destruction of the environment.

Plains Cree/Salish singer Fawn Wood comes from the tradition of Round Dance and Hand Drum music. She was introduced to spiritual songs by her parents and grandparents, singing along with them at Pow-Wows from an early age. Through her music, she shares a deep passion for her community and speaks to the strength of Indigenous women. Fawn won the Hand Drum contest at the Gathering of Nation’s Pow-Wow in 2006, the first woman to do so. Before her work as a solo artist, she and her husband Dallas Waskahat released albums as a duo. The two of them performed at the 11th Annual NAMMY awards and 2010 Aboriginal Peoples Choice Music Awards. Fawn’s latest album is entitled Kikāwiynaw, Plains Cree for “our mother”.
