Bio

I am Socorro Reyes Ramirez, a Mexican multimedia artist based in Kansas City, dedicated to promoting my culture through art. Born in Nanchital, Veracruz, I studied Visual Arts at Universidad Veracruzana, specializing in illustration and visual narrative. My work has been exhibited internationally, including five solo shows and over twenty group exhibitions. My practice spans multiple disciplines, creating immersive experiences that foster connection, celebrate cultural identity, and explore the transformative power of creativity through collaboration and storytelling.

Connection to the theme Home

Home invites artists to explore the places, people and dreams that bring us back to ourselves. A familiar sight, smell, sound, taste or touch–these are the things that feel like home. Home represents the essence of our innermost memories. The aspects of life that resonate with our inner child. For many, home is a reflection of refuge, comfort and belonging. For some, home represents more complex emotions—the catalyst for the ways in which we experience life and evolve over time.
