PERFORMACE ARCHIVE: On Friday, June 19th, La Pocha Nostra curated an international performance experiment to support Juneteenth, Black Lives Matter and essential artist workers. 12 artists, 8 countries, and 3 hours. This event was hosted remotely by Grace Exhibition Space in New York City. All proceeds directly to artists and Black Lives Matter. I was excited to have the opportunity to perform with LPN and be welcomed by the international performance art community! More soon! Adelante!

Ventilador - LROD (2019)
Within the realms of outer space, this film investigates through the lens of futurism and Sci-fi a possible future or beginning of LROD and La Fractura. Ventilador means fan in Spanish. My focus for this film was to discover the realms of the word alien in relation to current political tensions, while also making visible a Chicana perspective of Sci-fi filmmaking. The installation was built in my home and the masks are made by LROD for a series of Borderland Performance dance films relevant to my research.

Obscura by LROD y Artistas
A short dance-film inspired by Frida Kahlo’s The Wounded Table. I am not only thinking about rituals, offrendas y mi Familia but also what is the camera’s (me essentially) relation to the people in the frame. I wanted to produce vibrant color in juxtaposition with darkness or the feeling of darkness. Creating worlds where inter-generational populations are included as well in the dance canon. Adelante!
