Take Action to Disrupt ICE

In collaboration with movement resource hub, Interrupting Criminalization, I illustrated this poster to bolster new and existing efforts to protect our communities from ICE. Check out their mini- (yet extremely comprehensive) toolkit to join efforts already in motion or to get ideas on how to start your own and take action.

Vlogging on Making Art for Social Change

Artists are integral to movements for justice and liberation. I've been making visual (graphic) art to build people power since 2015. I started a YouTube channel as a platform to share more in depth about my creative practice, in addition to sharing advice and lessons learned on movement art making.

On View in Chicago

Currently on view at the Chicago History Museum are two of my prints — in two different exhibitions!

Designing for Change: Chicago Protest Art of the 1960s–70s highlights the powerful slogans, symbols, and imagery used by Chicago activists confronting racism, sexism, homophobia, and war in the 1960s–70s. My artwork, Reparations Now! Reparations Won! (2020) is part of the concluding section featuring contemporary artist-activists continuing the legacy of using protest art to fight for social change.

Aquí en Chicago traces the lives of Latino/a/e communities that have maintained a persistent cultural presence in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. The exhibition was sparked by students protesting the museum in 2019 for lack of Latino/a/e representation in its exhibitions. My artwork, Everybody deserves lead-free water (2022), is included in the exhibition's entryway, and features contemporary artist-activists highlighting injustices that Latino/a/e/ communities are confronting in their communities. My partner's artwork is also included, highlighting the campaign to Stop General Iron on the southeast side of Chicago.
