Prepping for an upcoming panel I’m moderating at @sonomavalleymuseumofart with Deborah Oropallo (pictured here), Jim Callahan, and Don Williams on May 11. I’d like to say @oropallod ‘s studio is a beautiful escape, but all the artwork we talked about was political doom and gloom 😭 but also 👏🏼 Her new video ‘Oval O’ is 👌🏼 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwx9fk0B3wL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19t2conaqw958
Rick Prelinger’s talk today at Cal for the High/Low conference was just what I need today as I’ve been thinking through issues of categorization, preservation, and cultural memory in an upcoming show I’m curating. Thank you @footage for inspiration, book recommendations, and the enjoyable cadence of your speech.

Today is my Bay Area anniversary and I just won $100 from a scratcher! I feel like this makes up for 7 years of crying from working too hard in this place. (at Oakland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Br6mHcKhtVf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hu4agznow3tb
On January 19 @sonomavalleymuseumofart will open an exhibition featuring the work of art stars Wanxin Zhang and Richard Shaw. This image is when ED Linda Keaton, co-curator Mark Johnson, and I visited @wxzhang25 studio to choose pieces for the show. I was feelin the feels this day because my grad cohort and I intersected with Mark Johnson when we curated an exhibition featuring the work of Martin Wong. Mark even told some stories about Martin during this studio visit. I love when paths continue to cross in this way... (Last image is Richard Shaw, all porcelain folks, wtf!!) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq0sik6BLZv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=m80ea7mwha6y

Wow, @soundwavesf wrapped up last night and I am feeling so lucky to have worked with so many talented artists and curators this season. I tapped some folks who I admire and wanted to learn from their practice, and I am emerging with new friends, colleagues, and collaborators. I am so grateful to all of you. I couldn’t have pulled it off without my powerhouse right hand woman wizard, @chaakitaa. She has such a sweet spirit and a big heart. A big shout out to #XUXASANTAMARIA @yagrumo_yal @raised_eyebrows for KILLING IT at last night’s show. Too bad we didn’t have a crumbling terra-cotta ceiling 😉 it was so great to work with you two. I can’t wait for that new album! Here’s to shaking shit up, women leadership, and PAYING ARTISTS FOR THEIR WORK! (I can’t tag more than 20 people, so more thanks to @c4newmusic @dorwand @theo_padouvas for all your technical expertise) Ah, I know I am missing so many more people to thank, you know who you are. Love you. ⚡️⚡️ (at Internet Archive) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpc4mQilLn_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14kthljqzk12o
The last @soundwavesf event is this Friday, Oct. 26, and it just so happens to be curated by yours truly :) #XUXASANTAMARIA will be performing at the @internetarchive! If you haven't seen the Archive, it is a TREAT! XXSM (@yagrumo_yal and @raised_eyebrows) have created a video maze stitched together from video games, Second Life, early screensavers, chat rooms, Myspace, and other renditions of physical architecture from a virtual realm that are drawn from the holdings of the Internet Archive. Their electronic instrumentation, samples, vocals and video piece will channel the sense of utopian promise and uncanny alienation which have characterized online spaces for as long as humans have existed within them. Doors open at 6pm for drinks etc, show at 7pm. See you soon! (at Internet Archive) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpVznmLF1Qb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=126h3ptcvxa1c

Next show on the @soundwavesf docket is In Between at @growlerysf this Friday, Oct 12 from 7-9pm! The show is guest curated by @shaghayeghcyrous with performances and installations by @sholehasgary and @cyrustabar. . . The show explores the artists’ desire for answers, communication, and connection amid the void of familial histories and relationships that they contend with as first and second generation immigrants, and what this means for their identities as individuals. 📸 @shaghayeghcyrous and @cyrustabar (at The Growlery) https://www.instagram.com/p/BovMQZpFGC9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vpip5xpmuvzn
Still in awe from last night’s @soundwavesf performance Time:Miracle. Thank you so much to the artists and curator for bringing us together last night to process, to heal, to communicate: @ajavision @fogapocalypse @titaniausa @verytoughjock ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I’m so grateful to our community and presence last night. Big thanks to @chaakitaa @dorwand @c4newmusic @alantheso @theo_padouvas @oaklandbonsaigarden for all the heavy lifting to make this come together. 📸 to @alantheso (at Bonsai Garden at Lake Merritt) https://www.instagram.com/p/BomY1YVlf2q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bukxa7eqd97s
Join us this Friday at the Bonsai Garden at Lake Merritt (@oaklandbonsaigarden) from 7-9pm for the 3rd event of @soundwavesf. This show is curated by @verytoughjock with performances by @titaniausa @fogapocalypse and @kyo_kois. The show, Time:Miracle, is an investigation of trauma and healing and the relationship with structural systems such as time and space on a personal and historical level. This work features 3 artists navigating the emotional ways their traumas manifest and find ways to use their individual and ancestral histories to call upon healing. It is a literal intersection of the intellectual and emotional, and will be transmuting our immaterial experiences into material visuals and sounds using performance, video, and music. This piece is a reminder that every immaterial and personal experience we have is a result of systematic infrastructures that cause material circumstances and that the process of material struggle to immaterial suffering does not have to be linear or one sided. Through art and music, we transmute our hard feelings and transcend our infrastructures of oppression into beautiful objects and experiences. To learn to transcend the limits of time and space through art is, in itself, miraculous.

This Friday, Sept. 21 from 7-9pm @soundwavesf continues at @gracecathedral with a performance guest curated by @oaklandcolibri with artists and collaborators @sammaybabay @thechosenlyfe @erika.vivianna, Alejandra Garcia, Lilly Dormido, Lauren Garcia, and Rachel Lyra. . . This performance explores the decolonization of patriarchal infrastructures and environments though performance ritual and sound art. The artists will reclaim, commune, and connect with disappeared histories by unearthing what has been buried and hidden beneath colonization. It is a reclaiming if ancestral lands, a returning to the matriarchal infrastructures that kept land fertile, vibrant, and protected. . . Get yr tix online! Link in my bio!

After months and months of planning, @soundwavesf is finally live!!! As Chief Curator I was tasked with selecting five guest curators, booking six venues, and coordinating all the logistics in between for the 8th Soundwave Biennial. I'm so excited to be working with @spivaks_libido @shaghayeghcyrous @oaklandcolibri @windowonder and @verytoughjock who are curating exciting shows for the biennial coming up in September and October 2018. To those still reading, I hope you will join me at some or all of the events at @growlerysf @counterpulse @eastside_neighborhoodarts @internetarchive @oaklandbonsaigarden and @gracecathedral . If you're wondering just what the hell is Soundwave and what the hell I'm doing with my free time: check out the link in the @soundwavesf bio for all of the dates, the amazing line up of artists, and general info. Thanks so much to the Soundwave team for all of your support, guidance, and discussion to get to this point!
