Sin Fronteras (without borders)

Sin Fronteras is a special collaboration of artists who view communities without edges and are bound by curiosity, not geography. We are related by our shared passion and commitments to meaningful exchanges through printmaking and papermaking. We are dedicated to learning from histories and experiences that shape our understanding and guide our practice. The project includes residencies in Oaxaca, Mexico, at the Rufino Tamayo Fine Arts Workshop and the Benito Juárez Autonomous University of Oaxaca, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin, at Anchor Press, Paper and Print and the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee

At each residency, artists and students will come together through a sense of cultural kinship grounded in dialogue, guided by making, and deepened by mutual learning. We are passionate about preserving, sharing, and celebrating traditions while fostering innovation through the exchange of skills and ideas. As printmakers, we naturally thrive in environments that encourage storytelling and experimentation, and we remain committed to evolving techniques that translate experience and imagination into process and image.

**Where politics and power often silence history, Sin Fronteras creates space for learning, compassion, and connection by building friendships through art, imagination, and celebration.
