Join us for "Physical Traces", a free public presentation by Brooklyn-based artist, Ricardo Miranda Zúñiga. He will discuss his art practice and his upcoming workshop on creating rotoscope animations based on public spaces and gestures. Location: Artists' Television Access (ATA) 992 Valencia Street, San Francisco @ 21st in the Mission. _______________________________ About the Artist: Ricardo Miranda Zúñiga approaches art as a social practice that seeks to establish dialogue in public spaces. Having been born of immigrant parents and grown up between Nicaragua and San Francisco, a strong awareness of inequality and discrimination was established at an early age. Themes such as immigration, discrimination, gentrification and the effects of globalization extend from highly subjective experiences and observations into works that tactically engage others through populist metaphors while maintaining critical perspectives. Ricardo has established a socially investigative creative practice that utilizes whatever media possible to present content in a manner that may generate interaction and discussion by others. http://ambriente.com/ _______________________________ “Physical Traces” is produced by Upgrade! San Francisco, a regular programming series with speakers and socializing designed to foster community around new media arts in the bay area. www.upgradesf.org
