Commissioned Artist: Soni Lopez-Chavez

Soni Lopez-Chavez was born in Cuitzeo de Abasolo in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico. Pulling from her own Chichimeca heritage and lived experience as a first-generation immigrant, Soni’s art covers a wide variety of different topics and causes. A representation of her Indigenous ancestry, her life lived back and forth between two nations. As well as the desire not only to bring awareness to issues through her art, but use her platform to counter negative, preconceived stereotypes, and to empower historically marginalized communities.
