I have the privilege of working with @shapingsf as a part of the Shaping Legacy Project that sees to reckon with the history of monuments and memorials within the cities collection. The work “looks to use multimedia as contemporary technologies to create an alternative statue emerging from the rubble of what has been torn down. The work investigates the act of reappropriation to rebuild the memory of Serra. Based on collected ephemera, photographs, video footage, and sourced miniature replicas related to the statue, a screening and sound sculpture will be used as a meditation on the figure of Padre Junipero Serra. Attendees will be invited to reflect on monuments, legacy, and public space.”

May 17th protest for Palestine. I’ve been doing solidarity in the form of art for sometime now, I’ve also been trying to create teaching tools specific to the Latine community but I feel like I need be doing more. What is it? Latine Diaspora for Palestine? More edu materials? Idk but I’m trying to find where else I can plug in and hope you are doing the same.

Introducing “Pop Culture Vulture”, an ongoing art project and exhibit by multimedia artist Chris “L7” Cuadrado that “explores & discovers” artifacts from the archives of pop culture to expose, subvert, and remix its past. Pop Culture Vulture is satire, gallows humor, militant political expression through practices of re-appropriation rescuing and re purposing outdated media. Through collage, audio manipulation, and cultural remixing, Pop Culture Vulture breathes new life into discarded or harmful imagery, reframing it with fresh political and cultural intent and ultimately “re-appropriating our own image” Señor Vulturo is the face of PVC. A Mexican vulture dragged out of the cartoon graveyard, once a villain to Speedy Gonzales—a slow-talking, greasy-feathered stereotype, he is everything they tried to laugh at, flattened into ink and accent. Now he returns as patron saint of the project. An icon of rot and resilience. He scavenges the dead media, guts it, wears its bones. He is retribution and remix. He is the joke turned inside out. Pop Culture Vulture button bundles with original comic remixes will be made available via IG.
