When Mabel Valdiviezo returned to Perú after living as an undocumented immigrant in California for sixteen years, it was art that brought her closer to her mother, Bila Flores. For the first time they will showcase their work in the exhibit Mothers and Daughters in Art: The Prodigal Daughter and the Healing Mother. The exhibit will be running until September 9th at the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts.
Curated by Indira Urrutia, the exhibit brings to light the multi-generational immigrant stories of Mabel, her mother, and grandmother while raising awareness to Mabel’s documentary film-in-progress Prodigal Daughter. The film will show her reconciliation with her family after the sixteen years of separation.
