Live from the Frontline
In cooperation with A People’s History of the I.E. , Live from the Frontline, is a participatory public memory project I am leading that invites artists into the archives and the landscapes of logistics to create site-specific works that explore the roots of environmental racism. The project includes eight sites located in Riverside and San Bernardino where long histories of colonialism and extraction from the land and labor are palpable, offering opportunities to reflect on what the curators call “the slow violence of the supply chain.”
This summer, my solo show on Colton and Fontana will debut at the California Museum of Photography from June-October on the lower level of the museum near the archives!
Thank you California Arts Council!
Our film Un Corrido de la Tierra | A Ballad of the Land and zine The Space has been awarded CAC Creative Corp funding! We are so grateful that the state of California supports its artists and that we get to work with our community to spur discussions surrounding how capitalism has been racialized in the I.E.
Along with this funding for my personal projects, I also co-wrote a grant to collaborate with Dr. Cathy Gudis, Dr. Jennifer Tilton, Dr. Audrey Maier and journalist Anthony Victoria to chronicle how communities of color have been displaced by the supply chain. Live from the Frontline, a public history project of site specific art installations across the I.E., was also awarded funding.
CPW Woodstock Residency
I am so excited to announce that I have been selected for the 2023 CPW Woodstock Residency program in Kingston, New York this summer. I will be using this time and space to work on my first monograph To Rise Above Ruins; a collection of images that I made over the last 6 years in Puerto Rico.
