About the Artist

Reyna Garcia is a visual artist and cultural activist dedicated to using art as a tool for social justice and empowerment, particularly focusing on underrepresented communities such as Latinos and immigrants. Her work often reflects themes of resilience, identity, and the immigrant experience, drawing from her personal journey as a woman with a disability and an immigrant. Through various forms of artistic expression — including exhibitions, documentaries, and workshops — Garcia strives to create spaces where creativity, leadership, and cultural roots can thrive. She is also committed to uplifting voices through community-driven initiatives and educational projects that explore themes of autonomy, heritage, and resistance.
