Celia Álvarez Muñoz (born 1937) is a Chicana mixed-media conceptual artist and photographer based in Arlington, Texas.[1]

Early life and education

[edit]

Álvarez Muñoz was born in El Paso, Texas to Enriqueta Limón Alvarez and Francisco Pompa Alvarez.[1][2] She grew up in the Chihuahuita historical neighborhood of El Paso.[3] Prior to becoming an artist, Álvarez Muñoz worked as a fashion illustrator and an elementary school art educator.[4] She decided to commit to creating art in the 1970s, by 1977 she enrolled in graduate school to study art.[1][5] She earned her Masters of Fine ArtsatNorth Texas State University, Denton.[6]

Drawing on her experiences living near the US-Mexico border, Álvarez Muñoz's work addresses the tension between linguistic, cultural, and political worlds.[5] She often incorporates themes of family and "communal memories" in her work.[7] She uses text and images in her work to explore the ambiguous signs and signifiers where cultures meet, and to communicate stories of American history, culture, and society.[8] She has exhibited her work in museums and galleries in the U.S. and abroad, and is included in the collection of the Museum of New Mexico.[9] Her work has been written about by art historians, Lucy Lippard, Benito Huerta, and others.[10][11][12] In Roberto Tejada's monograph on Muñoz, he includes a teaching guide (Vol. 3) using principles from her work in the teaching of multicultural art, and border issues.
