I'm excited to announce that I'm taking part in DOCUMENT NOW: NO BORDERS, an exhibition at the Royal Society of Arts from June 18-21, 2024. This group show invites global photographers to share stories of migration and identity, investigating community and culture in a world of rapid globalisation.
In this group show, I will be showing some of the photo-textile artefacts from my series Pro Mundi Beneficio alongside my video performance piece entitled This Is (From) America. In Pro Mundi Beneficio, I tell the stories of the plants endemic to the American continent that have greatly benefited the economies of other parts of the world, but that have also been influential in the creation of new cultural identities around the globe. This series is named after the motto on the coat of arms of the Republic of Panama and is Latin for “For the Benefit of the World.”
On Friday 21st, and in commemoration of Pride month, I will be premiering my latest video performance piece entitled People Like Me, a 5-minute short film in which I explore homophobia, conversion therapy and familial relations. The presentation of the short film will be followed by a Q&A and an opportunity to view the DOCUMENT NOW: NO BORDERS exhibition with the artists.
