Скачать или смотреть Project Highlight: The Revolution Starts in the Earth w/ the Self, Jess X Snow & Gavriel Cutipa-Zorn

Jess X. Snow is a queer, migrant, Asian-Canadian artist, filmmaker, poet and RISD alum. Gavriel Cutipa-Zorn is a doctoral candidate in American studies at Yale and a Brown grad. They first met in Providence, a time which both say proved crucial to their personal development. They returned to collaborate on "The Revolution Starts with the Earth," a mural Snow designed using symbolism and mythology drawn from Cutipa-Zorn’s research and dissertation on transnational solidarity. The concept is inspired by the struggles of both Latinx and Palestinian peoples at the borders between the US/Mexico and Israel/Palestine. It depicts the silhouetted profiles of Providence-based, Queer Guatemalan organizer Vanessa Maldonado Flores and New Orleans-based Palestinian organizer Amira, as well as plant and animal life symbolic of the ways that solidarity can cross borders and break through walls. It can be seen at the Providence Community Acupuncture building at 1055 Westminster Street, Providence.
