About the artist:
Joel Garcia (Huichol) is an artist, arts administrator, educator, and cultural organizer with 20+ years of experience working transnationally on community-centered strategies. His approach is rooted in Indigenous-based forms of dialoguing and decision-making (non-hierarchical) that uplift non-institutional expertise. Joel uses art and organizing to raise awareness of issues facing underserved communities, inner-city youth, and other targeted populations. His art explores healing and reconciliation, as well as memory and place garnering national press in publications such as the LA Times, New Yorker, and Artforum among others.
He’s a current Stanton Fellow and former fellow of Monument Lab, and a co-facilitator of the Intercultural Leadership Institute which proposes to hold space for cultural production outside of white supremacist frameworks. He served as Co-Director at Self Help Graphics & Art.
