Nansi Guevara, Guillermina Zabala, and
Catherine Cisneros at the 2022 MASA Exhibit
By Dr. Ricardo Romo
Nansi Guevara described her-
self artistically as a “graphic de-
signer, an illustrator, and a textile/
rasquache based public artist.”
Born in Laredo, Guevara moved to
Brownsville after earning a bach-
elor’s in Fine Arts in Design from
the University of Texas at Austin
and a Master’s in Education from
Harvard University. She runs her
own freelance design and educa-
tion practice, Corazón Contento,
based out of Brownsville, Texas.
A New York Times article on
border art by Siddhartha Mitter
on Sunday, March 27 may well
explain how artists like Nansi Gue-
vara approach complex social sub-
jects. Mitter writes about border
towns' particular spirit: “Because
sociology can go only so far in ac-
counting for a place, it has fallen
to artists to explore and convey…
the borderness of it all…”
Guevara, who grew up in the
border town of Laredo, explained
that her artwork and social prac-
tice “is especially place-based.”
She is now focusing on arts-based
popular education and design to
begin and continue to unveil the
excellence, talent, and strength of
American border communities.
