Yehimi Cambrón is a DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) recipient originally from México who works as an artist and educator in Atlanta. Known for the many public works projects she has produced in collaboration with Living Walls and WonderRoot, nonprofits that commission artists to paint public spaces, Cambrón often incorporates portraits of immigrants—most of them undocumented—into her work along with the monarch butterfly, a symbol of the immigrant’s journey. Her artwork elevates the resilience and humanity of immigrants through a combination of portraiture and text that creates a platform for people to share their personal narratives in empowering and uncensored ways.
