Artist-in-Residence at the MACC
We are happy to announce that Paulina Rosiles has been selected as the MACC’s summer Artist in Residence. Paulina Rosiles is an interdisciplinary artist whose work focuses on everyday scenarios along the Mexico-U.S. El Paso-Juárez border, centered on girlhood, matriarchal lineage, and familial tradition, highlighting often overlooked realities in the region that are anchored in nurturing and flourishing.
Her practice combines painting, installation, craft, fibers, and print. Her works challenge traditional media categorizations, mirroring how the border resists belonging to any nation, and how El Paso and Juarez, as sister cities, melt into one another. Rosiles is raised and based in El Paso. She obtained her Bachelor of Arts degree, double-majoring in Economics and Honors Studio Art, from the University of Notre Dame.
For the duration of the MACC AiR program, Paulina will create a lace tablecloth using filet crochet techniques and designs that emulate the tablecloths at her abuelita’s home. This will be her largest fiber artwork yet, bridging two formative social experiences from her upbringing: learning to crochet and la sobremesa.
