Rosa Guerrero - El Paso, Texas
Rosa Guerrero is a well-known El Paso artist, educator, dance historian, and humanitarian. Her life’s mission is to promote cultural awareness, harmony, and understanding through the use of art and dance. She founded the International Folklorico Dance Group, and is the first Hispanic woman in El Paso to have a school named after her. She won a national award in documentary filmmaking for her film, “Tapestry,” as well as many other awards including the LULAC Arts and Humanities Award, the NEA Human Civil Rights George T. Sanchez Award, and being inducted into the Texas Women’s Hall of Fame. One of Guerrero’s favorite dance costumes is that of La China Poblana, from the region of Puebla, Mexico. The costume, whose design is attributed to a Chinese or Asian Indian serving girl from that city, includes Mexican national symbols on the front of the skirt in elaborate sequin work.
