The Heat of Life in a Handful of Dust
Andres de Varona and Marcia Reifman
Saturday, March 23 - 12:00PM to 1:00PM
Majestic C
*Imagemaker Award*
The Heat of Life in a Handful of Dust will hone in on the concept of art being understood as a victory against the harsh realities of living. The project that I will focus most on, TRIALS, streamlines all of our individual narratives into a visual record in which all collaborators (including myself) are depicted as a living memorial, meaning we are enacting and becoming visual testimonies to events that happened in our lives. This record is a tool to enter the collective human experience, in which art is used as a celebration within the midst of intense life changes.
