About the Artist: Magda Leon, a Guatemalan-born multidisciplinary artist currently residing in Providence, RI, focuses in printmaking, installation, and social practice art. Leon’s work reflects her bicultural identity, which she cariñosamente (lovingly) refers to as “De aquí y de allá”.

Leon is currently working on a multi-year community project and exhibition, Remember: Volver a pasar por el corazón, opening in the fall of 2027. The project celebrates the histories and experiences of the Guatemalan community in the greater New Bedford area and Southcoast---drawing connections between ancient communal practices and contemporary experiences of migration, exploring the universal pursuit for belonging and community.
