Luisa Fernanda Nadarajah

Fashionista, diseñadora de modas y activista social.
Nacida en Perú y criada en Argentina, Luisa Fernanda llegó a Houston donde descubrió en el 2015 su talento para el diseño de modas cuando ganó un concurso patrocinado por el Museo de Bellas Artes de Houston. Su interés por la moda responsable la ha llevado a crear colecciones con el apoyo de comunidades indígenas como su colección Calipso, incorporando el color y el trabajo artesanal del bordado de mujeres en Guatemala. Su preocupación social se extiende a su trabajo como fundadora de Project Piruw, una ONG dedicada a apoyar la educación y la nutrición de comunidades indígenas en Perú.

About the artist

Cynthia Isakson
Cynthia Beatriz Isakson was born in Buenos Aires in 1969. Started studying and working in Photography in 1993. Participated in national and international exhibitions obtaining several awards. She exhibits alone and in group since 1996. She’s lived in Houston, Texas since 2003.
Her portfolio includes:
“Dolls”(1999), “About bodies”(1996-1997), “Whitened portraits”(1997-1998), “A look back”(2000-2001), “Generations”(2001), “Dolls, the new era”(2015-2019), “Life”(2016) & “The Whole Picture” (2018-2019)

About the exhibition

Family Overlap
When I open my eyes I photograph them; when I close my eyes, I listen to them
For 25 years I looked at them, I portrayed them, I captured them, in order to keep them forever. Immigrating and maintaining close relationships seemed to be two incompatible concepts. But they turned out not to be.
I watch them hanging on my walls and listen to their recorded voices, our conversations. And suddenly the language, what they say, no longer matters. It doesn’t matter if they look at me. It doesn’t matter if they are no longer here.
It’s about that feeling that you get when you close your eyes and you don’t see them anymore, you feel them…

My project includes between 20 and 25 portraits and an audio file looped in speakers placed in the four corners of the exhibit room. The pictures are printed on 18 x 24 in giclee paper.
The chief concept of the project highlights the relevance of family and culture in spite of the meaningful change resulting from immigration. Evidently, such a project resonates with the mission of the IHCH.
