I SEE WHAT YOU SEE
Part of: Art + Social Practice Conversations
How can art be a channel to conduct miracles together in the everyday? How can making art together relate to our current climate catastrophe, and encouraging stewardship of the land?
Gili Rappaport has assembled this anthology of interviews—accompanied by photos, paintings, works-on-paper, and more —to document the participatory, collaborative, site-responsive artworks that ten creators who cross generations, ethnicities, and queer identities are bringing forth today.
The book presents a succession of inspiring and dynamic conversations that generate a contemporary picture of social forms of art today: Gili Rappaport with Ralph Hopkins, 76-year-old native New Yorker who throws lavish fashion show parties dating back to the 90s at queer haven Jacob Riis beach; Halo Perez-Gallardo, chef-owner of Lil’ Deb’s Oasis, a seven-time James Beard nominated restaurant and queer community hub in Hudson, NY; Seth Caplan, queer Ashkenazi Jewish photographer, artist, and art educator; Nellie Scott, Executive Director of the Corita Art Center, dedicated to preserving the legacy of Sister Corita Kent; Constance Hockaday, queer Chilean-American director and visual artist from the US/Mexico Border who creates immersive social sculptures on urban waterways; Linda K. Johnson, Oregon native deeply influential in the maturation of dance and public art in the Pacific Northwest region for over three decades; Sari Rubinstein, co-founder of Brooklyn’s longest-running underground art space, Rubulad; Midnite Seed Abioto, emerging multimedia artist whose curatorial process centers environmental injustice through a cultural and spiritual lens; LaQuida ‘Q’ Landford, Lead Visionary for the AfroVillage Movement; J Wortham, community care worker oriented towards healing justice and liberation, staff writer for The New York Times Magazine, co-host of the podcast Still Processing and co-editor of the anthology Black Futures; and Violet Baxter, painter, cartographer, and calligrapher born in New York City in 1934 (and great aunt to Gili).
In answering the question of how art can be a channel to conduct miracles together in the everyday, I See What You See opens the imagination and encourages the act of becoming for every reader.
