Las Hermanas Iglesias

Las Hermanas Iglesias (founded 2005) is an artist duo of sisters Lisa and Janelle Iglesias, who currently split their time between Queens, New York; Western Massachusetts; and Southern California. Their work draws from feminist histories and reflects their identity as children of Norwegian and Dominican immigrants born and raised in Queens, New York. Their collaborative practice disrupts geographical borders, engages absurdity, and underscores the power of collective making. Incorporating materials as diverse as music, beeswax, piñatas, and bubblegum, they produce playful work that takes the form of complex installations, sculptural textiles, and participatory performances. Their practice has evolved to include ongoing collaborations with their mother, Bodhild, as well as projects with their children, adding an intergenerational dimension to their work. Through this culturally hybrid practice, Las Hermanas Iglesias explores connections between family bonds and broader societal structures, linking personal experiences to larger social systems.
