This will be Aguiñiga's fifth solo exhibition with Volume Gallery. Her current work uses craft as a performative medium to generate dialogues about identity, culture, and gender while creating community. Aguiñiga is a 2022 Latinx Artist Fellow, a recipient of the 26th annual Heinz Award, a United States Artists Target Fellow in the field of Crafts and Traditional Arts, a NALAC Grant Recipient, and a Creative Capital 2016 Grant Awardee. She is the founder and director of AMBOS (Art Made Between Opposite Sides), an ongoing series of artist interventions and commuter collaborations that address bi-national transition and identity in the US/Mexico border regions. AMBOS seeks to create a greater sense of interconnectedness while simultaneously documenting the border.

About
Volume Gallery
Volume Gallery focuses on American art and design, with a strong emphasis placed on emerging contemporary artists and designers. Volume Gallery releases editions, publications and organizes exhibits that showcase the work of American artists and designers to regional, national and international audiences. We are asking critical questions of what it means to be an American artist/designer in a culture that is rapidly becoming more global, while simultaneously examining the American experience. Outside of an active gallery program, institutional shows and acquisitions are an important component to the roster’s activities. Over the course of the gallery’s history we have placed over 50 pieces in nearly 20 public institutions (LACMA, SFMOMA, AIC, MAD, Philadelphia Museum of Art, The Mint Museum and the Renwick to name a few).
