Ana Deisy Campos presents her artwork at the Changarrito cart outside the Mexic-Arte Museum, offering a space to explore identity and memory through painting.
Ana Deisy Campos is taking over the Changarrito cart at the Mexic-Arte Museum for a series of dates this September. You can find her right outside the museum entrance on September 19, 20, 26, and 27, from 12 to 3 PM each day. The setup is simple: she'll be selling her work from the cart, and if you can't make it in person, there's an online gallery and merchandise available through Instagram. The best part is that the artist keeps 100% of the sales.
Campos is a Salvadoran-American artist born in California and raised in Dallas, with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art from UT Austin and a minor in Art History. Her work is personal, drawing on her own experiences to retell stories of Salvadoran and Latino culture. She's described it as a way to push back against US media narratives and to connect with her family and herself. She works mostly in painting, pulling from family photos, gathered images, and cultural symbols—chickens, among them—to explore identity, memory, and belonging.
This isn't her first time showing around Texas. She's illustrated for the Daily Texan and exhibited at La Peña in Austin, Centro Cultural Aztlan in San Antonio, the Visual Arts Center in Austin, and the Cliff Temple Baptist Church 10th St Gallery in Dallas. The Changarrito Residency itself works on a rotating roster throughout the year, with different artists coming in for their own residency periods and bringing their own body of work to the cart. Campos is the one in the seat for these September dates.
