MEET THE NIGHT’S ARTISTS AND SPECIAL GUESTS.
PARTICIPATING DJS & VINYL SWAP HOSTS:
Xochi Solis (she/her) is a mixed media artist born and raised in Austin, TX. Her works include multilayered, collaged paintings that rely on the illusions created by photographic surfaces to tell a nuanced narrative about time, place, and sensation. Solis grapples with the question of how to represent an environment where her heritage, her body, and dreams of the future can co-exist. In addition to her studio practice, she spins vinyl records as Mira Mira focusing on the preservation and performance of Tejanx culture.
