In conjunction with her exhibition, <a href="https://www.artsatciis.org/current" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">While You Were Sleeping</a>, at the Memories are often uneasy, sometimes painful, and always fragmented and transformed by time. Moving in a dreamlike, surreal space, Diaz’ paintings dance easily from the diaristic and personal to the cultural and diasporic, quilting together memory and identity much as our memories are transformed in time. In her love of magic realism, Diaz has found another tool for transformation and survival. “Magic realism gives us a container to hold (struggle &amp; trauma)—to go on or to walk with it, to know that it is part of our life… the best way I know is that strategy for survival. And I think surrealism kind of affords me that, in a way where I’m using it as a tool for survival and visual communication.“ - Karla Diaz
