it’s been awhile since last posting.
to offer some catching up on what I’ve been up to, some brief reflections of past creative endeavors from 2017:
beginning of year presentation culminating my 2016 residency at Rebuild Foundation
early 2017 Robert Rauschenberg Residency
which led to solo performance presentation at Seattle University
a solo presentation for Black Intersections Conference / The Claremont Colleges
and a duet presentation at Brooklyn College in spring
travels to Canada in summer which included a brief creative interlude at Art Gallery of Ontario
speaking at Chicago’s 3Arts Foundation Awards ceremony in the fall
becoming a recipient of Art Matters Foundation award
and moving into 2018, offering a performance moment at Art Institute of Chicago
Hello Barak,
My name is Mauricio Tafur Salgado and among other things, I am blessed to know of your work. I come to you through the word of Carmen Morgan. I am also blessed to be working with her through artEquity. She recommended that I reach out to you to see if we could chat about a convening I am co-organizing. It is our hope to organize a gathering of folk to envision an equitable and inclusive training model that decenters white-ableist-patriarchal supremacy. Our hope is to organize this convening for the summer of 2019. Would you mind if we connected to see if you’d be interested in joining our effort? Warmly,
Mauricio
