Meet the Time Travel Mart Staff: Maribel Barcena

maribelEver wonder who the friendly folks are who greet you in the Time Travel Mart? We’d love for you to meet one of these awesome people: Maribel Barcena. You can find her behind the counter in the Echo Park Time Travel Mart from noon to 6 p.m. when the store is open.

Maribel was born and raised in Northeast Los Angeles. She is a visual artist, mostly focusing on photography and installations. Her home away from home is Morelia, Mexico–she is most inspired when she is there. She loves iced coffee, reading, traveling, and looking through old family photos. When she has free time, she likes to going to the beach or driving down to Tijuana to visit family and eat some of the best tacos in all of Mexico!

Get to know some more about Maribel with answers to these questions:

Would you rather be omniscient, omnipotent, or omnipresent?
Omniscient.

They say that Alexander the Great slept with a copy of The Iliad and a dagger underneath his pillow. What do you sleep with under your pillow?
I can’t think of anything that needs to be under my pillow while I sleep. Unless someone was out to get me, then maybe a dagger wouldn’t be such a bad idea.

What’s in your ideal burrito?
Carne asada, beans, onion, cilantro, and salsa verde.

What is your favorite motto?
“You can’t erase what you know. You can’t forget who you are.” -Sandra Cisneros
