Alma Lopez is a queer Chicana artist who uses her art to explore feminist perspectives on Latine culture. In 2001, she created "Our Lady," a digital photo montage that features a woman in a two-piece bathing suit, adorned with flowers, superimposed with the image of the Virgin de Guadalupe, a significant religious figure in Latine culture. Through this piece, Lopez portrays the intricate connections between womanhood, gender, and religion. However, the piece faced controversy due to the representation of a religious figure in a revealing outfit and breasts exposed by another figure in the artwork. The Catholic Church took issue with the artwork. —— Alma López es una artista chicana queer que utiliza su arte para explorar las perspectivas feministas de la cultura latine. En 2001, creó "Nuestra Señora", un fotomontaje digital que presenta a una mujer en traje de baño de dos piezas, adornada con flores, superpuesta con la imagen de la Virgen de Guadalupe, una figura religiosa importante en la cultura latine. A través de esta pieza, López retrata las intrincadas conexiones entre la feminidad, el género y la religión. Sin embargo, la pieza enfrentó controversia debido a la representación de una figura religiosa con un atuendo revelador y los senos expuestos por otra figura en la obra de arte. La Iglesia Católica, en particular, discrepó con la obra de arte.
