Las Hermanas Iglesias

Las Hermanas Iglesias is the collaborative team of Lisa & Janelle Iglesias, sisters born to Dominican and Norwegian immigrants in Queens, NYC. Our moniker anchors our identity within the contexts of feminism, teamwork, and multiplicity. Over the past 15 years our practice has been further informed by our teaching practice and experience as caregivers, and has evolved to include a number of team efforts and variations such as our on-going collaboration with our mother, Bodhild. Through employing playful structures that respond to the community and context of each project, we create artworks that disrupt borders, engage absurdity, and promote the benefits of working together.
Our collaborative work has been exhibited at El Museo del Barrio (NY), Queens Museum (NY), Abrons Art Center (NY), ASU Art Museum (AZ), NMSU Art Museum (NM), The Utah Museum of Fine Arts (UT), and others. We’ve been artists in residence at LMCC’s Paris program (France), Fanoon: Center for Print Research at VCUQ (Qatar), The New Roots Foundation (Guatemala), Stoneleaf Retreat (NY) and Textile Arts Center (NY). Our work has been supported by the Queens Council for the Arts, NYFA, and NALAC.
Lisa is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Art Studio at Mount Holyoke College and Janelle is an Assistant Professor of Studio Art at the University of California San Diego.
