Sangre y Cobre
A demo laid down in a hurry with my compañeros Jason Andolino and Cayson Morrison in Arizona. It tells the (shortened) story of the Bisbee Deportation of 1917 and other early 20th-century race / labor struggles in the state.

Arte Mandado
Performance art intervention in front of the Contemporary Art Museum of Oaxaca, together with five other artists from all over the US and Mexico.

This Poem Writes the Ink
the ink writes the poet. Headlines write the politics. Sentences write the prisoners. Textbooks write the memory, lessons ignore everyone. Grades make the student. Students learn the teacher. Jobs work the employee. Streets drive the car. TVs watch every household. Religions rely on the fanatic. Prices buy the customer. Drugs do the poor. Lines wait[…] See more ⇒
Pies Sobre La Urbe: audio / parkour / videoarte
Here is a short piece of videoarte done by my homeboy Carlos Altamirano in México, DF. I collaborated and did the audio for the piece, something I love to do and was happy to have been asked.
