Brown Futurity: Artists and Their Archives

I have been invited to speak on a panel for the Mexicali Biennial this Saturday at Whittier College. I will be presenting alongside Xaviera Flores, Librarian and Archivist at the UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center and artist and cultural worker Sandra de la Loza. Together, we will examine how artists can build, protect, and activate our archives as living documents of creative practice.

TRUCK PAINTING @ ALTERNATIVE CAFE GALLERY

"Coin Operated" - While visiting Seaside, California for my solo show that opened on Feb.12, I got the opportunity to paint a panel truck as a live demo and promotion for the gallery.



Blank truck was my canvas...
