I'm a Nuyorican interested in the interconnections between genealogy, visual & material culture and social history.
My genealogical work is grounded in extensive archival research and oral histories. I earned my doctorate in Art History (UCLA 1998) and have articles on the history & development of American museums, art practice, race, and the history of Mundillo, traditional Puerto Rican lace making, and genealogy.
My art practice has focused mostly on collage, painting and photography. I was one of the artists in a recent iPhone Photo show at Light Room Gallery in Berkeley.
I just spoke with my cousin Gaspar, and there are over 600 Babilonia descendants who will descend on El Manantial tomorrow afternoon. It should be an amazing event. Hopefully I'll have some images to post.
