I am the inaugural Artist-in-Residence at The Alta, and that my residency has been extended beyond this summer through the end of 2026. I’m deeply grateful for this wonderful opportunity. A big thank you to Castulo, Susana, Pilar, Marco, Alexis, and all the supportive and kind folks at The Alta, that include Susan, Martina, Arlene, Daniel, Javier, and Summer . Through this residency, I will activate the Rubén Esparza Movable Studio® as a dynamic, public-facing workspace—a place for meaningful engagement with visitors while supporting the development of new commissioned work, as well as an opportunity to focus on completing artworks that have remained unfinished. —————————- My practice centers on an ongoing exploration of the cultural significance of Latinx, Chicano, and Queer diasporas, examining histories of migration, identity formation, resistance, and cultural production. —————————- The Alta is the first space of its kind dedicated to bridging health and wellness with the preservation, celebration, and elevation of Chicana/o/x and Mexican artists, filmmakers, and writers whose stories continue to shape this country’s rich narrative. —————————- Look out for invitations to group and individual studio visits. DM me with questions or to inquire about the visit schedule. by @rubenesparza669

Artifacts from an Unborn Empire Group exhibition at Brand Library and Art Center Curated by Jason Jenn and Vojislav Radovanović Exhibition Dates: September 26, 2026 - January 2, 2027 Artifacts from an Unborn Empire gathers artists to reconsider how civilizations are formed and who gets to define them. Through a range of natural and manufactured materials, they play with and challenge the systems, stories, and symbols that shape our sense of power, history, and belonging. Blending imagination with critique, the exhibition explores cultural myths, colonial legacies, and the forces that construct contemporary life. Timed with the 250th anniversary of the United States, it asks: what kinds of empires do we inherit, and what new ones might rise in their place? @Art.documents @brandlibrary @associatesofbrand @Jasonjennartist @Mr.voicelove Featuring work by: Aprille Curtis, Antonino Isaja-Formicca, Ben Cuevas, Cheyann Washington, Elana Mann, Ellen Jong, Francis Robateau, Gina Herrera, Greg Day, Hugo Heredia Barrera, Jason Jenn, Jason Trucco, Jotham Hung, Kayla Tange, Kristine Schomaker, Marcus Kuiland-Nazario, Nancy Kay Turner, Reyah, Robert Patrick, Rosalyn Myles, Rubén Esparza, Vojislav Radovanović. @prillzilla @tonyisaja @Bencuevas_art @Chy_o @Elanamannstudio @__ellenjong @Francis_robateau @Ginaherreraart @Gregdayphotography @Hbexperimental @Jasonjennartist @Jothamhungstudio @Kayla.tange @Kristineschomaker @mknstudio.insta @Nancykayturner @Artbyreyah @Rozmyles @rubenesparza669 @mr.voicelove by @rubenesparza669

La Secretaria de Extensión y Cultura Universitaria @culturauaq y la Coordinación de Arte y Género @uaqarteygenero presentan - V Foro Internacional de Arte y Género Imaginaciones, memorias y resistencias - -BQ07: Remembranza. Representación. Resistencia. BQ07 se sumerge en las dialécticas de la visibilidad y el borrado, situando las voces, la rabia y la creatividad queer dentro de espacios disputados de angustia, resiliencia y alegría radical. Partiendo de tradiciones de resistencia encarnada y práctica contra-archivística, la bienal construye lo que Michel Foucault denominó “heterotopías”—espacios que simultáneamente reflejan y cuestionan la realidad normativa.
