This summer I had the immense pleasure of working remotely with members of Teatro Visión, a Chicanx theatre company in San José California, to record experimental descriptions of 5 figurative works in permanent collection of the San José Museum of Art. Their descriptions are so very powerful and evocative. I can’t wait to share them.
We are currently putting on the finishing touches before releasing the work into the world in early December 2021 as part of the exhibition, Our whole, unruly selves. Stay tuned!
Sincere thanks to everyone at Teatro Visión and the San José Museum of Art who is making this project possible, and for so much patience and understanding during a particularly unruly time in my own life.
