Las Hermanas Iglesias creates multi-media works that incorporate interactive elements, transgress borders between disciplines and address a range of shared autobiographical experiences. The synthesis of their background, from Dominican and Norwegian parents and their experience of the dynamic environment of Queens influences their work, which often comments on connection to place, bridging disparate materials and practices and speaks to the challenges and possibilities of collaboration. Las Hermanas mixes their individual interests and processes and finds potential in the overlap as well as the space between. From disco balls to stitched maps of Paris, community potlucks to plant shares, self-portrait pinata bashings to arm-wrestling contests, Las Hermanas explore issues of hybridity in a collaborative practice that engages the community both physically and conceptually.For more information, visit www.LasHermanasIglesias.com
