Birdie Rojo

Birdie Rojo is a queer, Mexican American, interdisciplinary artist and organizer from Compton, California. Their work celebrates Mexican culture while addressing its inherent machismo culture, homophobia, and the erasure of indigenous people. Inspired by folklore and their childhood memories, they recreate environments through installation, sound ceramics and painting. Rojo has exhibited at the Winston Hewitt Studio (2022) and the Altadena Library (2022). They co-curated Seen at Office Hours, an artist-led space in Carson, CA (2023). Rojo ran the DH Arts Collective and co-ran the Queer Art Collective for the Queer Culture Resource Center.
