Artists/performers Ivana Larrosa and Antonio Ortuño reflect on the role of Latinx women immigrants in New York City, giving visibility to individual empowered women who came to New York in search of professional growth and proposing unexpected ways to practice architecture. With video projection design by Laia Cabrera & Isabelle Duverger.
‘Bia (the Colony)’ 2020. Photography, 34x30”. Floor map of one of 12 apartments projected on the body of the tenant.
Inspired by the information that Larrosa collected from a survey of over a 100 hispanic women immigrants in New York City, The Colony explores the parallel between house/space and the body, featuring projections and objects with floor plans, maps, photos and videos based on Ivana Larrosa’s experience as a homeless immigrant living in 12 places during 12 months in New York City.
The event will also include a display of photography books by immigrant women published by Matarile Ediciones.
The Colony is made possible by the generous support of Le Petit Versailles & Allied Productions, Inc., and City Artist Corps Grant. Le Petit Versailles events are made possible by Allied Productions, Inc, Gardeners & Friends of LPV, GreenThumb/NYC Dept. of Parks, Materials for the Arts, the NYC Dept. of Cultural Affairs, and the Office of City Councilwoman Rosie Mendez.
