Rebeca Abidaíl Flores

Rebeca Abidaíl Flores is a Mexican American and Salvadoran artist from Fresno, CA. I connect working class labor to joy and play and create objects rooted in labor like paletas, mangüeras, and camisas to reimagine them as interactive pieces of play.

Through sculpture and installation, I explore the delicate tension between labor and joy, inviting audience participation to disrupt the routines of work. My creative fellowships include, the Latinx Teaching Artist Fellow at Root Division, Bloomberg Tech Fellow, and a Teaching Artist at the University of San Francisco. An artist in residence at The Ruby, Story Knife, Laureate Lab Visual Wordist Studio with Juan Felipe Herrera.

Literary work can be found in publications like El Tecolote, Your Impossible Voice, and The Acentos Review. Debut solo exhibition, “PLAYGROUND” showed at Medicine for Nightmares Bookstore & Gallery. Sculptures have also shown at Juan R. Fuentes Gallery, SOMArts, and Root Division. I’m currently an MFA in Art Practice candidate at San Francisco State University.
