HOT WHEELZ FESTIVAL 2020
Role: Co-Founder & Producer
Hot Wheelz Festival launched as a virtual residency in the summer of 2020. In its first year, the platform hosted Chicago curators, spaces, and collectives to create live programming while loosely approaching the question, “How do we keep moving?” Each residency included a week-long webpage takeover as well as engagements across our different platforms.
Resident Curators: DIVINE (Ry Douglas & Xitlali Celesté), LVL3 (Kaitlyn Albrecht & Maggy Olson), Sarah Skaggs & Constanza Mendoza Guerra, and Maggie Wong
Featured Artists: Mario Sergio Álvarez, Jasmine Barber, Xitlali Celesté, Ry Douglas, Mariah Emerson, Katherine Finkelstein, Morris Fox, Ava Mirage Wanbli, Fabián González, Monique Marshaun, Yvonne Martinez, Zullay Orozco, Kyle Ozero, Eliane Adela Padrón, Tati Rodriguez, Talia Wright
