10 Powerful Quotes From Women Latinx Artists

“Write with your eyes like painters, with your ears like musicians, with your feet like dancers. You are the truthsayer with quill and torch. Write with your tongues of fire. Don’t let the pen banish you from yourself.”
~Gloria E. Anzaldúa, author, poet, activist

“I’ve been a story-teller all my life but I realized it only recently.”
~Isabel Allende, writer

“Break the mold! Have the biggest vision you can! If you can’t dream it, it cannot occur!”
~Judy Baca, artist, activist, professor

“Art is above religion and politics because all humans are capable of creating, and we are all artists.”
~Marta Minujín, conceptual and performance artist

“I believe in the possibility of art being disruptive and trying to break boundaries and resist prior tendencies and norms of society.”
~Graciela Carnevale, artist

“Being an artist doesn’t start because you’re 21, and it doesn’t end because you’re 51. You are who you are until the day you die.”
~Jennifer Lopez, actress, singer, dancer, fashion designer

“My weapon has always been language, and I’ve always used it, but it has changed. Instead of shaping the words like knives now, I think they’re flowers, or bridges.” ~Sandra Cisneros, writer

“All I tell artists is, ‘Do what you love. Never let anybody talk you into changing what your musical idea is just to try to get a hit, because you’re chasing your tail that way. It’s not going to happen, and if you’re successful, you have to do it the rest of your life. Stay true to it and do it for the sake of the art.'”
~Gloria Estefan, singer, songwriter, actress

“Feet, what do I need you for when I have wings to fly?”
~Frida Kahlo, painter

“Tejano music was hard for us because I was a girl. My dad had a lot of problems while trying to set up shows for us or presentations because there are a lot of men who don’t think that women can get the attention of the public. But . . . wrong!”
~Selena Quintanilla, singer, songwriter
