Collaborators: Marilou Mariko Carrera and Filipinx Artists of Houston
Leticia R. Bajuyo creates visual poems, drawings, sculptures, and site-responsive installations that are inspired by the cyclical patterns. Bajuyo’s continued research of cultural privilege and internalized pressures of assimilation yields a drive to create visions of comfort, containment, and control that question their own existence while inviting interaction. Bajuyo has presented site-specific works at the From Waste to Art Museum in Baku, Azerbaijan; at the Silos of the Site Gallery at Sawyer Yards in Houston, Texas; at the Nashville International Airport in Tennessee; and in the Tony Hillerman Library in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Current projects include a traffic roundabout sculpture for the Fort Worth Public Art program and solo exhibitions at Arkansas Tech University in Russellville, Arkansas and at the Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Bajuyo seeks community and collaboration by participating in collectives such as the Filipinx Artists of Houston and Land Report Collective as well as serving on Boards of Directors for Public Art Dialogue and the Mid-South Sculpture Alliance. Bajuyo received her B.F.A. from the University of Notre Dame and her M.F.A. from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Originally from a small, rural town on the border of Illinois and Kentucky, Bajuyo creates, lives, works, and teaches in Norman, Oklahoma where she is an Assistant Professor at The University of Oklahoma.
