Mariachi Traje De Azul

In Fall 2024, I did an independent study with Professor Enrique Leal at UCSC. My project uses research about textile, embroidery design, and overall documentation of the on-campus Mariachi Eterno De UCSC. The photos are images taken at media day for the Mariachi, during performances, and practices. The photos were then printed on cyanotype fabrics, layered with screen print of the embroidery design from Mariachi Eterno trajes, and finished with a last layer of embroidery. All the fabric pieces, including the scarf, were sewn onto a jacket representing the Mariachi trajes.
