I work with communities across the Sonoran Desert to produce cultural and artistic interventions focusing on issues of migration, race, gender, climate change, and displacement. My work supports women/femme collectives and Black, Indigenous, Latinx, API artists to instigate place-based and binational dialogues and cultural events. These interventions include theatrical presentations at the US/MX border wall, play readings, binational dance, and multi-media installation. Border/Arte is fiscally sponsored by Reframe Arts Center.

Launch of Border/Arte's newest program: DELTA
In collaboration with artist, Ana Teresa Fernandez and Museum of Contemporary Art Tucson, Border/Arte will begin a research investigation and site visit to map water flows through the Colorado River (Yuma) to the Reserva de la Biosfera Alto Golfo de California y Delta del Río Colorado for an installation called On The Horizon-Delta. On The Horizon asks participants and audiences to engage with the impacts of climate change on water levels at sites of sea and rivers. The piece also asks us to ask "what is one the horizon if we don't address climate collapse?" Installation will launch at the end of 2024 - 2025. Read more Here.
