Shout out to our FOTOSEPTIEMBRE curators Angela Martinez and Anthony Garcia, who created more than a photography show. Both “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover” opening and “A Fever Dream” closing went beyond the photograph experience with performance art and video installations. It was like a “double exposure” experience.

The staged art photos from the exhibition artists cohesively set the performance mood vibe. Extra shout out for the performance by La Chichada (Anthony Garcia and Friends) and the special burlesque performance. The mannequin with the video projection was the absolute coolest brainchild of Angela…her eyes and lips projected over it reading poetry by Anthony The Poet. A wonderful collaboration that, now feels like…the coolest fever dream!

Thanks to all those who came to experience it, and BRAVO and Congratulation to Angela and Anthony for creating an experience for the books!

NOTE: Rotate your phone left to see a couple of the photos that were shot landscaped instead of portrait.

When 2 Tribes Meet
Opening Reception October 9th, 7-10pm
Curated by Hebron Chism

When artists collaborate with other creatives, the exposure to other disciplines is often enlightening and helps one to see different perspectives. This project is designed to give creatives from different mediums the opportunity to combine their efforts to create something eclectic and learn and appreciate their collaborators’ craft.

The concept came to Chism in the year 2000. The title of the series is from bringing the 2 sides of his social life together. In the 90s he spent a lot of my free time promoting and attending poetry slams or popup art shows. This sparked the concept to bring his 2 tribes together. The idea is to cultivate the possibilities that collaboration can create
