Jose Torres-Tama's Immigrants, Aliens and others show closing at Barristers Gallery, Tuesday 30th July

Performance and fine artist, Jose Torres-Tama and I, joined up for a collaboration on his recent works on the sidelining of immigrant laborers in New Orleans.  That was an intimate but unusual event at Barrister's Gallery in New Orleans and, there is a closing party on Tuesday the 30th of July to celebrate this pop-up gallery show.  There is also an interesting installation piece to see at the gallery by film and video artist, Alberto Romero.

Tomorrow evening, I am honored to be involved in a collaboration with all-around visual and performance artist, Jose Torres-Tama at Barristers Gallery, New Orleans. We will be performing selections from the Aliens Performance project. The theme is the ongoing difficulties of immigrant workers to gain a voice in the cultural landscape of New Orleans despite their massive contribution to the reconstruction and revivication of the city after hurricane Katrina and the injustices of identity manipulation from American ignorance.   The performance will happen amidst the opening of Torres-Tama's gallery exhibit of his other related photographs, paintings and other artworks.
