Art career

[edit]

Boullosa's first solo exhibition was in Mexico City at the Rafael Matos Gallery, which was titled Enredos in 1987.[13] In 2003 she had an exhibition at Taller Galleria Fort in Girona, Spain for the 23rd Mini Print International of Cadaques.[14] The artist describes her work as nostalgic and is made with photography, documents, clothing, found objects, accumulated objects, maps, and treasured items, to give a worn-out memory feeling and evoke fragile and intimate aspects of the human existence.[13]She says the objects in her work are witnesses to the life of the people that own and use them.[15] She also creates prints and engravings on textiles, metal, wooden objects, amate paper, Mexican cotton, and Indian Fabrics, as well as etchings and linocut.[16][17]

Boullosa was an artist in residence at the Pratt Institute in 2003, where she created works on the Latino immigration experience and the international labor community with ceramic figures and prints.[18]

Boullosa's prints have been exhibited in New York City at the International Print Center as well as in Sweden at Kunstmusem Bern the for the Estampas, Independencia y Revolucion exhibition in 2010.[19][20] She also had work shown in Arizona for the Border Project which presented many artworks at the statehood Centennial Celebration in 2012 at the University of Arizona.[20][21]

Boullosa took part in the "You are your house, I am mine" installation at the Museo de Ciudad[22] in 2014, which focused on family structures, in which Boullosa created prints.[23]

In 2017, Boullosa was an artist in residence at the ChacalArt Residency for printmaking and held printmaking workshops for the local school children in that area.[24]

Boullosa has done activism art, to draw attention to violence against women and victims of femicide, in her work "Flores vivas y flores muertas" (living flowers and dead flowers), which was exhibited in Tlaxcala, Mexico.[25] As well as her exhibition in 2018, "Nothing-Nobody" in which she addresses the kidnapping and violence against women in Veracruz, Mexico.[26] She also has given work to benefit the conversation project in El Charco, Mexico.[27]

She has exhibitions in Spain, Mexico, and the United States most often.[28]
