The interdisciplinary artist Guadalupe Maravilla (born Irvin Morazán) uses drawing, installation, sculpture, video, and performance to express the anxiety felt by undocumented migrants. In 1984, at age eight, Maravilla immigrated to the United States in order to escape the civil war in El Salvador. Brought as an unaccompanied child by a coyote (or human smuggler), Maravilla was part of the first wave of undocumented children to arrive from Central America. At twenty-seven, Maravilla became a U.S. citizen and in 2016 adopted his undocumented father’s alias—Maravilla—and combined it with Guadalupe, the Spanish name given to the Aztec earth mother deity.
