Andi Xoch's Brotar and Complice were created in part of the 'Utopia/Dystopia' portfolio, curated by the artist Miyo Stevens-Gandara. Miyo invited 26 artists to each pick two cards from a full deck, incorporating a diverse range of interpretations and ideas into a single, unified collection. Here, Xoch depicts natural healing plants a source of Utopia and the image of La Malinche as a source of dystopia. These two prints evoke themes about generational trauma, historical oppression, injustice, and forms of healing available to counteract these realities.
