Kanthy Peng and I have known each other since 2011 when we both entered the same class at Beijing Film Academy. She was one of the reasons that I ended up in the School of the Art Institue of Chicago in 2014 as a transfer student. Because she transferred there in the prior year. By […]
Interviews
Photographers on Photographers: Joe Harjo in Conversation with Mari Hernandez
I first came across Mari Hernandez’s work when she was collaborating with Mas Rudas, a collective of Chicana artists based in San Antonio, TX.
