Finding Your Voice: Art, Ancestry, & Divine Timing

Your Art Is A Spell
Season 1 Episode 7

Join host Edgar Fabián Frías for an inspiring conversation with Eva Aguila, a Mexican-American interdisciplinary artist and co-founder of Coaxial Arts Foundation. In this episode, Eva shares her journey from hiding her artistic passions from her immigrant parents to creating a groundbreaking nonprofit space for experimental artists in Los Angeles.

Eva discusses her transformation from supporting other artists to reclaiming her own creative practice, the challenges of running a DIY arts organization, and her upcoming solo exhibition "Vino de Sangre" at the Vincent Price Art Museum (opening April 26, 2025). Discover how ancestral connections, divine timing, and overcoming fear have shaped Eva's path as she explores the 500-year history of colonization through the lens of wine production.

This conversation delves into finding your authentic voice, recognizing spiritual guidance, and creating art as an act of resistance. Eva's story inspires us to honor our true calling, even when faced with cultural expectations, burnout, and self-doubt.
