Shizu Saldamando is an artist based out of L.A. She’s worked in many media including video and painting but she is most well known for her pen drawings. She grew up in the Mission District of San Francisco. Her mother is a Japanese-American community organizer and her father is a Mexican-American human rights lawyer. But just because she’s biracial does not mean that her life revolves around sushi and tacos.
She talks to us about her work and how capturing images of daily life can be political.
