ResumoThis essay offers an interpretation of Ana Mendieta’s work based on art historian Judith Wilson’s May 1980 oral history interview with the artist. It argues for analyzing four key works in Mendieta’s oeuvre through the lenses of diaspora and citizenship based on her articulation in this interview of her experiences as a Cuban-American woman in exile in the US. It concludes with a meditation on Mendieta’s identification with both the Third World Women’s and Non-Aligned Nations movements and her “personal will to continue being ‘other’” under birthright citizenship laws of blood and soil.
