RETRATOS E HISTORIAS EN LA REPÚBLICA DOMINICANA (2014) and WE CAN BE HEROES (2016)

 

RETRATOS E HISTORIAS, 2014, ongoing

Retratos e Historias is a transportable project model for collaborative community mural making. The model is a strategy for collaboratively designing and executing mural imagery, in tandem with engaging working artists with the general public in one-on-one encounters. Mural panels and teams of artists circulated through public areas through Santo Domingo. Then, the final composite mural was presented at OutFest Dominicano 2014. The curriculum was designed in collaboration muralist Xavier Ringer.  

In 2016 and 2017, the model was implemented at the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center for TransPride, under the project title "We Can Be Heroes."
