About
Zachary Fabri is an interdisciplinary artist that complicates boundaries around studio research, performance, and socially engaged practice by immersing himself in environments such as Target stores, the Trump Hotel, and the streets of Brooklyn. Employing conceptual strategies and context specificity, he utilizes drawing, photography, video, performance, and sound to create discourse around issues of equality, representation, justice, and the dismantling of systemic oppression. Fabri has exhibited work at Sharjah Biennial 2019, United Arab Emirates; Museum of Modern Art, New York; and The Studio Museum in Harlem, New York, among others.
Lizania Cruz uses audience participation to investigate notions of being and belonging within the public sphere. Using objects such as books, zines, installations, happenings, video, and photography, she invites a diverse range of communities to co-create collaborative artworks. Through research, oral history, and active participants, the projects she develops aim to highlight pluralistic narratives about migration and race. Cruz has exhibited work at Bemis Center For Contemporary Arts, Omaha; El Museo del Barrio, New York; and CUE Art Foundation, New York City, among others.
