Justin Sterling (b. 1992) is a visual artist based in New York. Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Sterling began his practice as a painter and sculptor. He later found interest in a broader range of mediums and received his Master’s degree in Interdisciplinary Fine Arts from Parsons. His chosen medium is the city, which he appropriates to create a poetic storytelling relationship with the urban and domestic, which in turn becomes a catalyst for social, political, and environmental discourse and activism. Sterling has shown work at San Diego Museum of Art in San Diego, CA; Foundation Francois Schneider in Wattwiller, France; MoMA PS1 in Queens, NY; 1980 Performance Space New York, NY; University of Rochester in Rochester, NY; and the Australian American Association (AAA) in New York, NY.
Dulcina Abreu is a Dominican-born independent curator, artist, and museum advocate currently based in Brooklyn, NY. Graduated with a MFA in Curatorial Practice from the Maryland Institute College of Art; BFA in Fine Arts and Media from Parsons, The New School. Abreu’s work explores 21st century visual and material culture from the Caribbean Diaspora in the US, immigration, LGBTQI+ community organizing, mutual-aid economies and digital activism. Served as the Consulting Curator for the Smithsonian’s NMAH September 11th 20th Anniversary. Recently awarded a curatorial fellowship for the Latinx Project at NYU, and presented Estilazo, an exhibit that celebrates the legacy of Latinx autonomous spaces, and artists, carving avenues for more independent economic systems, while expanding our Imaginarium of gender identity, notions of sensuality, and queer fiction.
