OUR CURATORIAL PROCESS

Socially conscious, community oriented, engaging, co-creative and thought provoking. Our most recent residency ‘Ganas de Existir!’ with Angels Gate Cultural Center honored our Latinx backgrounds and shared heritage. Eighteen artists shared their personal histories of growing up in first and second generation migrant families. Each artist’s work was a glimpse into their worldview with the intention of humanizing the marginalized, fostering understanding, building bridges of empathy, and imagining the possibilities of unity to abolish racism, xenophobia, and ethnocentrism.

Through a magnificent interactive display of visual expression, audiovisual installation, mixed media sculpture , performance, and poetry we expressed pride in our origins and emphasized the importance of visibility. The opening and culminating evenings of our residency were blessed through sacred ceremony led by local Tongva and Mexica native leaders.
