Cleo Arevalo is a conceptual artist working with multimedia to produce videos, prints, ready-made objects, and installations that examine the globalized oppression of the masses. As a native of the US/Mexico border, her work exhibits an analysis of the pre-established cultural meaning of language as perceived through a multicultural filter.  Arevalo uses familiar images and objects that when grouped together address the conditions of labeling that weaponize information. Arevalo uses art as a catalyzer for a dialogue discerning the complexities of language as her work reveals a sense of rupture in the validity of the collective meaning we assign to the symbols that influence our individual negotiations in politics.
