Celia Munoz

Celia Alvarez Munoz (M.F.A.), Arlington had her work featured in the Getty Exhibition "Radical Women: Latin American Art 1960-1985" at The Hammer Museum Los Angeles. The exhibition presents works in a range of media, including photography, video and installation, that women of the region produced, often in harsh political and social conditions. It will run at the Brooklyn Museum from April 13 to July 22 and later travel to Brazil. Munoz’s piece resembles a honey box, usually seen in the fields collecting honey, that contains a series of framed photographs with a letterpress printed story about an imaginary friend. The photos reveal a fair skinned Madame Alexander doll wearing a bonnet. The doll's head turns gradually in each frame until the last photo which shows the back of her head with hair yanked off. The last line reads, " ...and she was a very sweet little girl."
