Kelvin Burzon
Multimedia Artist
Burzon's work explores the intersections of sexuality, race, gender, and religion. It is driven by his Pilipino-American background, interest in religion's role in culture and familial relationships, as well as Catholicism's traditions, imagery, theatricality, and its psychological vestige.
Beatriz Vásquez
Visual Artivist
Vásquez's work experiments with the conceptual use of papel picado, a Mexican Folk art. She transforms layers of intricate cut paper into murals, creates wearable sculptures, and exhibits large-scale installations. Vasquez will use the grant to preserve her delicate and detailed hand-cut paper murals in a secure climate-controlled environment.
