  • The featured collage animation by artist @bilyanamisic was featured in #NARAcollective's 2019 exhibit #ARSUNA | ART IS ONE – a multi-media feminist surrealist exhibit celebrating the 100th anniversary of the movement. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #BiljanaMisic began collaging by accident. Unable to join friends on a vision quest to South America, she sat on her bedroom floor pulling images from @NatGeo. Attempting to recreate her friend’s experience, she listened to Peruvian music to fully embody the journey.

Serendipitously, it was the same musician she listened to when she started collaging.

  • #LaOnda | Over the past 50 years, Mexican photographer Graciela Iturbide has captured layers of Mexico’s diverse cultures and practices, as well as the struggles and contrasts across the nation.

Originally envisioned as more of an atelier art center, where anyone could come in and make work in a studio situation, they, along with other artist collectives and art spaces like Goez Art Studio and Asco, brought performance and artistic frameworks out into the street,” notes J.V.
