Artists Bio:
Mario Ybarra Jr. (1973) Mexican-American, a conceptual artist born and raised in Los Angeles. His artwork operates as examinations of excluded social norms, often examining complete environments, histories, and narratives. He received an MFA from the University of California Irvine and a BFA from Otis College of Art and Design. He has been featured in many local, national, and international exhibitions/fairs including the 2008 Whitney Biennial, the Tate Museum in London, at the Orange County Museum of Art, Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, MOCA Los Angeles, MOCA Detroit, the ICA Boston, Museo De Cervantez Spain, ARCO Fair 2011 and 2013, LACMA, the Art Institute of Chicago, among others. In 2002, in partnership with his wife Karla Diaz, he co-founded Slanguage (an artist-run space/collective in Los Angeles that hosted art exhibitions, residencies, and programming for youth and adults). He has been featured as a speaker in many national and international venues including most notably at the Creative Summit in New York, and Art Pace San Antonio.

Siobhan Hebron is an interdisciplinary artist in Los Angeles with a B.A. in both Art and Art History from UCLA. Hebron’s visual and written work both take from her personal diagnosis of cancer to explore broader dialogues of illness, chronic conditions, disability, ableism, and the sick woman’s body. Her work engages feminist social practice, directly embracing community and collaboration. She is co-chair of the AYA@USC PFAC, has a certificate in Patient Advocacy and is working to pursue a career supporting AYA patients in both the artistic and medical communities.
