Lala with Agave/The Art of Tequila

Original artwork for live screen printing event | Commission for El Mayor Tequila and Powerhouse Arts

El Mayor Tequila collaborated with Brooklyn artist Stephanie Eche and Powerhouse Arts to allow participants to design their own custom aprons with screen-printed artwork.

Stephanie Eche created original artwork featuring the agave plant, the Aztec maguey plant goddess Mayahuel, and Lala, Eche's mythical cat-human creature who helps connect the artist with her mestiza Chicana ancestry. Eche is inspired by indigenous embroidery motifs, the Jalisco landscape, precolonial myths and traditions, and the biodiversity and ecological importance of the agave plant.

Bandera de la herencia

23.5 x 11.5 x 0.25 in, Linen, cotton, dye | Commission for private collector

This project was commissioned by a private client. Bandera de la herencia, which translates to “heritage flag”, is a celebration of Palestinian life, culture, land, resilience, and legacy. It is also an acknowledgement of the death, suffering, pain, and experienced by the Palestinian people currently in 2024 and for many decades prior. Ultimately Bandera de la herencia is a beacon of hope. The dimensions and colors of the textile work echo the dimensions and colors of the current Palestinian flag (adopted May 28, 1964), which is often used at protests, rallies, and demonstrations worldwide in solidarity with Palestinians and the resistance to Israel’s occupation of Palestine. The materials linen and cotton and the embroidery cross stitch technique of tatreez reference traditional Palestinian thobes, which are living artifacts that are still being hand made and passed down today despite extreme circumstances.
