We are completely blown away! This past Sunday, the Austin community showed up with an unforgettable wave of love, energy, and solidarity at our Austin for Colombia Earthquake Relief Benefit.

The atmosphere at @anisdayandnight was absolutely electric. From the mesmerizing live sets by @nemegata and @wacheatx , to the powerful unity of the traditional Rueda de Bullerengue with our sister @carolinaa_oliveros and the pulsing energy of the DJ sets by @dilemastronauta and @nino_lento_es_fuego,
the spirit of Colombia was alive and thriving right here in Austin.
Thanks to your incredible generosity, we have already raised $800 toward our goal!! and we collected $600 cash at the event.
Where Your Impact is GoingEvery single dollar raised from ticket sales and online donations goes directly toward providing shelter and help to rebuild 10 houses by supporting @elmensajerodesemillas project.
More information in other post!!

The Mission Continues
We are still working hard to hit our $5,000 goal, and we cannot do it without you. If you were unable to make it to the pop-up show, or if you want to keep the momentum going, you can still make a massive difference from home.🇨🇴
Donate directly to the link in our bio.
Thank you to our incredible collective of artists, and to every single one of you who danced, donated, and stood with Colombia. ¡El pueblo salva al pueblo!

We met with Jorge from @elmensajerodesemillas in Colombia to talk about our benefit show this coming Sunday at @anisdayandnight. This was with the intention to make it clearer to folks where the money will be going to and who are the people being benefited by it, and also the types of initiatives involved in making all of this happen on the ground in Colombia’s rural communities.

Link for tix and/or donations is in the link in bio 🔗

See you this Sunday at @anisdayandnight August 30th from 5 pm to 9 pm. ✌🏽❤️‍🔥 🇨🇴 by @bettynaa

MURAL IN PROGRESS:
NEW MURAL COMING AT @austinpubliclibrary AUSTIN CENTRAL PUBLIC LIBRARY parking garage.

Week one at the Austin Public Library is a wrap! 🏗️🎨We have loved transforming our early parking garage sketches into a vibrant, intentional mural. A huge thank you to our on-site assistants for working alongside us to bring this public space to life.
We are Beatriz and Paola—two Colombian sisters, migrant artists, and co-creators. To us, art is the ultimate bridge. It connects our ancestral roots with our new home in Austin, erasing borders and building community.
@paolaandreaward blends modern abstract styles with South American traditions to elevate ancestral foods.
Beatriz aka @bettynaa uses muralism and illustration to explore femininity and nature, building on years of community art experience starting in rural Colombia.

We are honored to create this piece as part of the ALL FOR ALL project. Big thanks to @raasininthesun initiative and to all the people involved in this amazing project!! .Stay tuned for next week’s progress.

Since moving to Austin, I’ve been teaching children patience, curiosity, and connection through music—planting the Bullerengue seed I received from my dear friend @carolinaa_oliveros from @bulla_en_el_barrio 🌱✨
This year, I followed that passion and applied to the @mindpop Emerging Teaching Artist Fellowship, seeking new tools and strategies to better share how music can bring people together across languages and cultures.
I’m deeply grateful for everything I learned in this beautiful program and for my incredible classmates 🤎
✨ Looking forward to sharing our lessons at:
MINDPOP FAMILY ART FUN!!
Explore, play & create with hands-on art activities
🗓 Sat. May 9
⏰ 10:30 AM – 12 PM
📍 George Washington Carver Museum – Classroom

Austin, Texas — I love you deeply. Over the past eight years, this city has become home after my time in New York City, my other home.
I am Beatriz López, a Latin American visual artist based in Austin. My work explores femininity, plants, and self-portraiture as territories of identity, memory, and the body. Through photography, muralism, illustration, printmaking, and drawing, I create images that weave together intimate and collective narratives, opening spaces for connection .
I have developed illustrations and photographic work for musical and editorial projects, collaborating with groups such as @nemegata , Bulla en el Barrio, and Grupo Fantasma. My photographic work has been published in media outlets such as The Austin Chronicle.

I continue to expand my artistic practice in Austin and have collaborated as an assistant on large-scale projects alongside artists such as Rubén Esquivel @_esquivel and Felipe Gómez @felipegomezart .

I co-founded @bulla_en_austin , a collective celebrating Afro-Colombian Bullerengue, and work with my sister @paolaandreaward on @doscompinches , a mural project. Together, we’re part of Art for All @raasininthesun, transforming the Central Library’s parking garages with vibrant murals. I’m excited to continue sharing new work that connects and inspires the Austin community.

Thank you to everyone who has welcomed me and supported my journey—your generosity and trust make this work possible.
