Fidencio Fifield-Perez was born in Oaxaca, Mexico, and raised in the U.S. after his family migrated.  Recent works reincarnate discarded maps and envelopes as ex-votos and papel picados. Fifield-Perez references the crafts and customs learned as a child in Oaxaca to celebrate festivals and mourn the dead. His practice critiques the authority given to paper objects over the people they document. These techniques ground Fifield-Perez in experiences that precede and came after the overtly defining moment of crossing the border.

Event is hosted by Jaime Knight.
