Www.mamalamastudio.com

Cuban-American artist Dianee Da’ Lama, explores culture, memory, and family through her experience as a young Hispanic woman, translating them through the use of textiles. By reclaiming fiber arts with its connotation of “women’s craft”, Da’ Lama is able to express the frustration of living within the machismo culture perpetuated in Latin American society. Currently, Da’ Lama is exploring storytelling in her work by combining the surreal aspects of Caribbean culture with childhood stories of ancestors passed down from generation to generation.
