Notre Dame Center for Arts and Culture (NDCAC)
Federico Cuatlacuatl exhibit “Entre-Existente | Between Existence.” Cuatlacuatl grew up as an
undocumented immigrant in the United States. Through reflecting on this and “ upon the
current realities of Hispanic immigrant experiences through the dual lenses of cultural heritage
and contemporary influences,” Cuatlacuatl says he uses them “as a means to rediscover and
reinterpret cultural identity.” He fuses these subjects into videos and digital animations to
create works that combine the past, present, and future into one space.
