Hello everyone!

The latest rendition of my piece Fallen Pins of America is now on view at Modified Arts in Phoenix! Note that these pins are from 2015-2020 and there are hundreds of deaths that go undocumented and misrepresented. What saddens me is that this piece is ongoing, ever changing, and will need to be updated every time a new murder arises. We need to work together to keep the movement going. We need to DEMAND change, hold police accountable, and get justice for all of the people that have been affected by police brutality. 

This installation as well as work by Marcellous Lovelace, Smush, and Jay Hampton will be up at Modified Arts until July 26th as a part ofRoadside Attractions, organized by ArtFarm PHX and Practical Art PHX.

I am excited to announce that for the first time ever, my video piece Freedom has Never Tasted so Good will be screened internationally at the Ibrida Festival for Intermedia Arts in Forlì, Italy! Displaying my artwork at an international level has been a major goal of mine and it is pretty surreal that the time has finally come! Because of my work's subject matter, it is important for me to reach as wide of an audience as I can. With my visuals, I aim to enable conversation throughout the United States and beyond! I would also like to take a moment to thank every single one of you reading for your constant support! For more information on the Ibrida Festival, continue reading below!

ABOUT IBRIDA HYBRID FESTIVAL: "Ibrida, the festival of intermedia arts, was born in 2015 in order to investigate and disseminate the most recent productions and research in the field of experimental audiovisual (videoart, found footage, meta-cinema, 2D and 3D animation, etc.), welcoming in a completely natural way also performance art and electronic music. Hybrid blooms from the seeds of Re / Action and from 2016 it develops over several days inside the Fabbrica delle Candele and other spaces of the city of Forlì, after the interest shown by the public and professionals.

Hybrid is curated by Vertov Project, with the artistic direction of Francesca Leoni and Davide Mastrangelo and the critical collaboration of Piero Deggiovanni". (via http://ibridafestival.it/)
