Margarita Cabrera was born in 1973 in Monterrey, Mexico.
Margarita Cabrera lived in Mexico till 1983 when her family relocated to the United States in search of better opportunities.
Cabrera developed an interest in art in early childhood. The passion was supported by her parents who raised their girl according to the Montessori Method of Education.
Margarita Cabrera obtained a Master of Fine Arts degree from Hunter College in New York City.
Since the beginning of her artistic career, Margarita Cabrera has been involved in a great number of collaborative projects at the interface of various art practices and traditions, including those of Mexican folklore and those based on the relations between the United States and Mexico.
The artist has also worked on the projects that reflected the experiences of people who left their homeland and managed to start with a clean sheet contributing to the development of the communities where they had settled down.
While touring local communities and collecting scrap metal or other used materials for her sculptural compositions, Cabrera organizes workshops for immigrants emphasizing the gap between the world of production and the world of consumption.
In 2012, Cabrera was an artist in residence at McColl Center for Visual Art in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Margarita Cabrera has widely exhibited throughout the United States, including the solo and group shows at such art spaces, as the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the Sweeney Art Center for Contemporary Art at the University of California, Riverside, and others.
Nowadays, Cabrera lives and works in Phoenix, Arizona. She is an assistant professor at the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts at Arizona State University. The representative of Cabrera's art in Los Angeles is Walter Maciel Gallery.
