Visual Arts Thematic Residency | Plastic - Online 2021

Overview
Plastic is everywhere, and is increasingly an object of environmental concern. However, it also provides the basis of our contemporary infrastructures including buildings, clothing, and communications networks. Despite the necessary campaigns for the elimination of single-use plastics, it is a material that cannot be easily dismissed. Plastic is one of the most intimate manifestations of our connections with oil, as it is used in everything from baby bottles to sex toys. It is also one of the foremost materials used in the production of contemporary art, from molds to vinyl to paints.

the project is dedicated to my great-grandmother, Esperanza Balmaceda de Josefé, the Mexican communist feminist and social worker who fought for women’s rights, Pan-American feminism and equality for indigenous women.
