Jackie Amezquita (born August 10, 1985) is a performance artist known for her work exploring power structures and the effects of them on ourselves and our environment.[1] She is influenced by her experiences as an immigrant woman here in the United States, often referencing the relationship she now has with borders. She puts together what she refers to as a “visual language” through weaving and the use of her own body. Her pieces are known to challenge the systems of power dominating our country today.
