context_page_description: Betsabeé Romero is a Mexican visual artist. Her works include sculptures, installations, printmaking, perforated paper, photographs, and videos. She has exhibited widely, and has been featured in more than forty one-person exhibitions in the Americas, Africa, Asia and Europe.
  Romero has described herself as a "mechanic artist". She uses everyday materials such as used tires, other car parts, and chewing gum, significant in colonial history and representative of global urban consumption. She combines these with traditional Mexican symbols, images and themes to reflect on history, culture, and the contradictions of modernity.
  Her work reflects on issues of social importance such as human migration,
  gender roles,
  cultural traditions,
  religiosity
  and miscegenation.
  She grounds her work in the traditions and history of Mexico, but interpretations of her work connect it to contemporary and global contexts.
