Rancho Deli, tomadas entre 2006 y 2010. Durante esos años, tuve el honor de ser guardián de esta escena artística, un escena que creció, se expandió y se atomizó, sirviendo como plataforma para artistas, músicos, poetas y gestores culturales de Barranquilla.

Excited to be working on a new body of work for a show about Rancho Deli—an art scene I had the honor of stewarding between 2005 and 2010 at the beach in Salgar, Puerto Colombia. It was a space of endless collaboration, where creativity flowed from every direction

Not all books make good subway reading, but some just click. There’s a particular kind of book that works perfectly for me on the subway. This one is a great example.

As an unrepresented artist, I’ve realized my social media feels like a mix of self-validation, showcasing to an imagined audience what I can do with the support of a team, and a devotional dialogue with the universe. Integrating the potential of this supportive ghost—an imaginary who might back it

At the start of each season, I love my morning ritual of visiting PLG cafe, two blocks away. To see and be seen, watch the sunlight shift, and savor the espresso at PLG—Peace, Love, and Gratitude.” #PLG

Thrilled to share this news! Delcy was the first to see the artist in me, even before I did. So much gratitude for her insight, friendship, and incredible work. Here’s to those who believe in us before we believe in ourselves. #Grateful #ArtCommunity”

Reflecting on how I want to show up here: Do I embrace the artist, the meditator, the queer, the playful and rebellious, or the one who’s ‘all-over-the-place’? Or maybe it’s about integration—a space to explore every facet, a practice in wholeness. This platform could be a canvas for it all.
