Reflecting research on recent\np rotests in a range of industries\, such as mining\, shipping\, and\nentert ainment\, Grullón poetically knits together the direct language\noften us ed in protests with other references that layer and complicate\nassociatio ns while addressing current issues. \n\nALICIA GRULLÓN uses performance and self-portrait (re)composing\npopular histories as a critique on the po litics of presence- an\nargument for the inclusion of marginalized communi ties in political\nand social spheres. Grullón has participated in exhibi tions including\nThe 8th Floor\; Bronx Museum of the Arts\; BRIC House for Arts and\nMedia\; El Museo del Barrio\; and Columbia University\, and has been\nhonored with a number of fellowships and residencies.\n\nELIZABETH FERRER is a curator and writer specializing in Latinx and\nMexican art and photography. She is the author of the critically\nacclaimed _Latinx Photo graphy in the United States: A Visual History\n_(University of Washington Press\, 2021)\, as well as of the\nforthcoming book\, _Louis Carlos Berna l: Retrospectiva _(Aperture).\nThe book will accompany a major retrospecti ve on Bernal's work that\nshe is curating.\n DTSTAMP:20240416T074053Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
