Border Futurism

This is a series that I’ve been working on awhile that had it’s beginnings when I started my work with Las Imaginistas and our work with the radical imaginary on the border. We co-created projects such as Taller de Permiso and Hacemos La Ciudad with community and this naturally influenced my own practice.

The following essay excerpt “Space Exed” by my colleague, the accomplished artist Josue Ramirez writes very eloquently about many of the themes that I’m touching on in this continuing series and will continue to add to up until the present 3/24/2021

“In the deepest part of the night you followed the jaguar through the transparent wall between the worlds. Shapes shifted. Did you assume another pair of eyes, another pair of ears another body another dream body? Maybe you took your physical body, and in this other place it metamorphosed into a jaguar” ”
