Mildred Beltré is an artist living and working in New York City.  Her works in print and drawing examine facets of social change. Her current work involves using self-portrait and text based work to explore race, social interaction, desire, and the simultaneous but opposing concepts of hypervisibility and invisibility. Beltré is the co-founder of the Brooklyn Hi-Art! Machine, an ongoing socially engaged collaborative art project in Crown Heights, Brooklyn that addresses gentrification and community building through art-making.
