From DiverseWorks:
“Join DiverseWorks and Lawndale for an hour-long performance by Verónica Gaona, featuring a Ford F150 and Latinx funerary practices to explore the realities and experiences of the body within a transnational landscape. The performance invites audiences to reflect on ideas related to traslados (transfers), an act of remittance of cadavers over long distances– usually borders, in preparation for final burial in their home country. This work will be co-presented in partnership with Lawndale Art and Performance Center where Gaona is currently an artist-in-residence.
This performance is a part of Sites of Memory, an exhibition featuring recent works by San Antonio-based artist Jenelle Esparza and Houston-based artist Verónica Gaona. Sites of Memory will be on view through November 5th. Public Hours are Thursdays – Saturdays, 1 – 6 pm. Admission is free.
