In the midst of global crisis, how can art and design change our behavior and beliefs?"I feel that that is a key aspect of my design and my art practice: what can I say that can make you a better human being?"In this episode of Works In Progress, Rebeca Méndez — artist, designer, and professor in the department of Design Media Arts at UCLA — discusses how her formative life experiences shaped her artistic practice. From family vacations to explore jungle ruins in her home country of Mexico, to being a young gymnast on Mexico's Olympic team who couldn't compete after Mexico withdrew from the games in protest, to being raised by chemical engineers who instilled in her a scientific rigor and love of research that informs her approach to art and design.
