In a yearlong residency project with RAIR, interdisciplinary artist Guadalupe Maravilla develops new site-specific works to activate RAIR’s Superfund site, a once-contaminated parcel of land. Maravilla’s practice considers issues of migration, identity, trauma, and healing through the use of found and discarded objects. The artist’s plans for the site include a series of sound baths, a temporary earth work in the site’s six acres of grass, and sculptural shrines.
The total grant amount represents project funding plus an additional 20% in unrestricted general operating support.
