About Boz Garden

Boz Garden is an Afro-latinx (they/them) artist, photographer, writer, and researcher making work about the ways blackness and queerness unmake, rethink, and on some level constitute our assumptions about the (built) environment. Their work at the moment takes a science-fictional approach to a critique of land use, archival practices, and multispecies (in)justice. They received a BFA from California Institute of the Arts.

 

About Rachel Zaretsky

Rachel Zaretsky is an artist living in Los Angeles. She holds a BFA from The School of Visual Arts in New York City and is currently an MFA candidate at the University of Southern California. She works through performance, video and photography to challenge our relationship to the creation of memories. She studies the compulsion to collect and Crete personal archives of digital images and treats them as malleable material. Through an inquiry-based art practice, Zaretsky examines how modes of representation can portray absence, how we process loss and our desire to preserve through memorialization.
