So cool! My first time being published in a university journal---NYU no less, ah! 🤓

This is a version 2 text of the Elsa Muñoz piece I did last year for Intervenxions by The Latinx Project.

Always a pleasure to keep getting archived with my friend @elsa.munoz.art and spreading Chicago art voices around like pollen allergies. 🌸

Last year, @curatorsintl invited me to make a tour for curators visiting @expochicago. I selected the booths and walked around with other curators performing curiosity. Unlike then, I know now the conditions I need to produce my best work and I desire to perform well.

Mf in the middle is I.

EXPO should be fun this year—come out!

Oe—read my review of Ronny Quevedo’s a l l s t a r s in Newcity October 2025 issue—out now; link in bio!

I wrote this under 72 hours—super fun combusting this out so quickly! Lol. Such a fan of Ronny Quevedo since I saw their work at the Queens Museum in 2017. Hope my scribbles satisfied the cosmos! 💫

Thank you to the KAM team for giving me a tour of the show; it’s up till December!
