Description: Meet Diana Calderon at her home studio in the willow historic neighborhood in Phoenix, AZ. In this video, Diana talks to us about random fun facts, and shares some of her projects with us. Calderón is an interdisciplinary artist born in Chihuahua, Mexico and raised in the borderland of El Paso, Texas and Ciudad Juarez. She investigates her ancestral roots and personal migrant journey while referencing archaeological and architectural patterns and texture. In her art, Calderón blends traditional and contemporary techniques such as relief printmaking, performance art, sculptural installation and murals on occasion. She often uses unique Mexican and American materials such as wood, cloth, panty hoes or handmade papel Amate. Calderón currently teaches, and exhibits her artwork nationally and internationally.

In 2018, a partnership between CALA Alliance, ASU Art Museum & PAOS Gdl allowed Calderón to live, create and exhibit her artwork in the Museo Taller José Clemente Orozco, former home and studio of the famous Mexican muralist.
