Sparked by her own personal story of student loan debt, Chelsea Hernandez began the Untitled Student Loan Debt Project to break the stigma of student debt burdens. This multimedia project is a culmination of art installation, podcast, and documentary feature developed during her time at The LINE Residency over the past 6 weeks. Uniting borrowers around the struggle of debt, this first phase of the project is experimental and only a small portion of the larger project which will enter production in 2020.
* Panel 3 – 4pm, Open Studio 4 – 5pm.

Adrian Armstrong is a multidisciplinary creative from Omaha, NE now living and working out of Austin, TX. Armstrong received his BFA from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in 2014. He is also the co-founder of Brown State of Mind, an Austin based organization dedicated to pursuing the interests of creatives of color and their ideas. Through portrait and figurative practices, Armstrong’s work explores identity and what it means to be a black person living in modern America. His work touches on topics such as depression within the black community, systematic oppression, and police brutality; but on the other side of the spectrum explores fashion, love, success, and growth.
The LINE Austin and local arts non-profit Big Medium have partnered to create a six week opportunity for local artists to experiment and create in a private studio. Learn more about Big Medium and the 2019 Artists In Residence.
