“Donde Pisa Lobo Maricón” a new site specific video performance is coming very soon as part of the Austin Studio Tour 2022. Due to circumstances beyond anyone’s control, what was supposed to be a live performance will now be a virtual performance to premiere virtually, artist talk right after.
Thank you @romerosculpture for the beautiful Mexican Gray Wolf inspired mask
