Translating preservation rituals from 5,000 bce Andean mummies into archival images and installations, Coralina’s works illuminate neon syncretism vibrating in our native narratives. Her collaborative from the Mama Spa Botanica workshop are created by, of and for full spectrum LGBTQIA+BIPOC & immigrant biological or biographical families to transgress the texture and complexion of American mythology. Working in collaboration with her neighbors, doulas, botanicas, urban farmers, policy leaders, Santeras, healers and historians, Coralina’s lens-based practice is a culmination of direct action organizing to honor the legacy of diasporic matriarchs preserving plantology wisdom before plantation labor systems and beyond their internalized, Castas stigmas. ⁠
