With a visual arts career that spans more than thirty years, Scherezade García has explored issues of exclusion/inclusion, migration, settlement and global change to provide a critique through symbols and significations. Expanding the concept of borders to be inclusive of an insular experience, she embraces the idea of the Liquid Highway transforming the Atlantic Ocean into a third space, one that needs to be bridged and historically resolved. Encapsulating memory and the activation of collective memory in the recovery of erased histories, her art is grounded in history and storytelling. She aligns her New World Baroque art style where extreme marvelous facts blur the lines between magic and reality, strangeness, and fiction in history, life, and geography in the Americas/América.
