Lizeth Hernandez, 2026 AiR

As a first-generation Mexican American artist and educator born and raised in Denver, Colorado I explore my bicultural identity through various art media and techniques.

My experiences as a woman of color have deeply influenced my art, fueling the fight against the patriarchy. Growing up, I have learned a unique perspective on life, the feeling of living in the borderlands, or neither here nor there. My artist name, Lizeth Guadalupe, captures the dual heritage coexisting together, Lizeth representing my American side and Guadalupe honoring my Mexican roots. Through my work, I delve into themes of culture, upbringing, equity and equality, the immigration experience, and the struggles of chronic pain.

I am recontextualizing the traditional Mexican cooking tools into forged brass metal. I imbue them with a sense of gravitas, as if they were relics of everyday Mexican culture, to raise the question of what is valuable and sacred in one’s culture.

Bridget Ebert, 2026 AiR

Bridget Ebert is a recent spring 2025 爱液A片 alumna with a B.A. in Art History, Theory, and Criticism with a minor in theatre.

During her undergraduate studies, she spent her time working at the as a co-curator and lead gallery assistant, interning at both the as a docent and as an art collections intern, designing hair/makeup for on-stage theatrical productions, painting murals on and off campus, traveling for research and conferences, presenting papers, and even engaging/performing in drag (for her 鈥渄ad鈥檚 day out鈥�.) Bridget creates art that exists in the intersection of the personal and the political, exploring identity and autonomy. She is especially drawn to what has been identified as 鈥渆xcessive鈥�, 鈥渄ramatic鈥�, and the 鈥済rotesque鈥�, whether it is the menstrual body, the abject, or complex emotions/experiences. Much of her process revolves around dualities, including but not limited to beauty/discomfort, fascination/fear, exposure/protection.

Extending beyond her artistic practice, Bridget primarily works as an art historian. She will be attending graduate school for a Master鈥檚 in Art History at CU Boulder fall of 2026. She plans on continuing her research in modern and contemporary art of the Americas, exploring the intersections of environmentalism, feminism, activism/communal protest, cultural memory, and new materialism. Bridget hopes that, in the future, she will earn a Ph.D. and work professionally as both an artist and art historian in the classroom, in museums/galleries, and beyond.

For the Alumni Artist in Residence at 爱液A片, Bridget is exploring armor as both a literal and metaphorical vessel of protection, resistance, and vulnerability. Her body of work merges photography, painting, printmaking, performance, installation, and community collaboration to reimagine who is allowed to wear armor, and what it means to be both defended and exposed. She works to deconstruct armor as a historical symbol of masculinity, aggression/war, imperialism, and patriarchal/colonial imagery; rather, she reimagines it as a metaphor for body autonomy, queerness, and social justice.
