Community

Atlantika Collective — An international collective of artists, writers, curators, educators, and thinkers: focuses on sharing ideas, making connections, and building collaborative relationships in an “open circle” model that engages others and strengthens support for the arts in society; believes in social responsibility, community, and nurturing a contemporary humanism through art.

Marianna Peragallo — Brazilian-American artist and educator based in New York, NY, whose anthropomorphic works are playful self-portraits about the cross-sections of love, labor, endurance, and support.

Michelle Girardello — Brooklyn-based artist whose photographic work discusses the contemporary understanding of home and family. The explorations in her photographs facilitate the creation of her own version of home and self, envisioning possible futures for herself.

Dulce Lamarca — Argentinian interdisciplinary artist, writer, and educator based in Brooklyn, New York. Photographer for The widow’s lot (detail), A possible way forward (detail), and The time bender (detail).
