Life in the Caribbean 🌊🧜🏽‍♀️

#2016 I was in full flight as a multidisciplinary artist - immersed in singing, music, photography, performance installations, sculptures. Aside from nonstop artistic momentum, the most significant moment was taking a pilgrimage to Standing Rock to stand with the water protectors. I produced a short documentary about the efforts there and stood witness to history being made on Native land. I was on the front lines when the Veterans met with tribal leaders to stand on the side of the Indigenous and in opposition to the military industrial complex

2016 was a very very good year

Other things shared here: lots of concerts, the first of two book covers that I was used for in a super heroine series, an exhibition of portraits of undocumented immigrants that was featured on the front page of a publication (in my gallery/studio), singing in ancient ruins of Russia, performance installation for a museum entitled Kuautli 🦅
