Gisselle Hernandez
Gisselle Hernández is a 21-year-old who is a proud queer Chicana that was born and raised in Little Village, Chicago. She is currently studying at the Trinity/ La MaMa Program in NYC and is focusing on visual arts and social justice. Within her artistic work, themes of healing and growth are always prominent. As a daughter of immigrants, Gisselle's goal in life is to give back to her communities by opening her own art programs that will provide resources for BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and migrant youth to uplift them and give them the artistic means to heal. When searching for an internship, she found that CUP was the perfect fit for her as we use design and art to contribute to meaningful social change within marginalized by meeting their needs.
