Congratulations to Devin Osorio @devinosorio a Spring 2025 Tallichet Freedman Foundation micro grant recipient! We’re thrilled to celebrate their work! “My practice begins with returning to childhood spaces I once tried to forget, offering those memories the gentleness and acceptance I needed to survive. Growing up queer, fat, and gender nonconforming in Washington Heights—within a culture shaped by strict codes of masculinity—I learned to hide parts of myself for safety. Through fiber-based installations, murals, and mixed-media works, I transform those experiences into spaces of healing and reclamation. Drawing from Dominican culture, folkloric traditions, and the geography of Washington Heights, my work explores diasporic identity, cultural hybridity, and the possibility of collective joy.” Studio pics 📸 @ggvz_ny Artwork images courtesy of the artist. ________ The Tallichet Freedman Foundation honors the life and legacy of Matt Freedman by supporting visual artists in Ridgewood, Queens.
