12×12 Jacquard and Cotton Weaving Archival Artist Print by Fall / Winter Artist in residence, Prisma Andrade.
Prisma’ Anna Maria Andrade is a Dallas-born and Chicago-based textile artist whose work blurs the lines between painting, photo, and textile, creating colorful imagery one can see and touch. Her work deals with immigration as an act of trauma, examining her family’s journeys between Honduras, Spain, Texas and Chicago, stitching together the remnants of familial and cultural history which the descendants of immigrants are left with. She uses cultural craft traditions of embroidery and quilting, once reserved to the domestic sphere of her female ancestors, in conjunction with modern traditions of digital weaving and dyework to confront the gender roles of the Latin American family structure. Throughout her work, Andrade reimagines her familial archive, including works of art done by her family members, as a ritual act to honor her family members across the diaspora and craft herself into place. Andrade received her BFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago for a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fiber and Material Studies in 2026. She is a recipient of the SAIC Presidential Scholarship (2022), SAIC Contemporary Practices Scholarship (2023), and won Surface Design Magazine’s Outstanding Student Award in 2025. Her work has been featured in group exhibitions at the Dallas Museum of Art (Dallas, TX), Bridgeport Art Center (Chicago, IL), Woman Made Gallery (Chicago, IL), Evanston Art Center (Evanston, IL), and solo exhibitions at Art City (Chicago, IL) and SAIC Incubator Gallery.
