coLAB Arts resident artists Daniela Ochoa-Bravo and Susana Plotts-Pineda will be working in collaboration with Unity Square Neighborhood Revitalization Project and Dr. Mary Nucci of the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences at Rutgers University to produce a new comic book in response to the oral histories, experiences, and gardening practice of the Latino immigrant gardeners of New Brunswick’s Landers Garden and Feaster Park.
Susana Plotts-Pineda is a Mexican-American theatre-maker, multi-media artist, performer, and writer. Her documentary play, La Caravana de los Misterios was staged at PSi#25 in Calgary and at Emerging Artists Theatre. Susana has worked with Noche Flamenca and Mapa Teatro. She is also the co-founder of Egg y Pan Magazine
Daniela Ochoa-Bravo is a mixed-media artist, writer, and researcher based in Brooklyn, born in Bogotá. She is the Co-Founder and Editor of Egg y Pan Magazine, a project dedicated to fostering community between Latinx + POC artists and writers. She graduated from The New School with a B.A. in Global Studies and minored in Ethnicity and Race. Currently, she is working on an oral history-based comic-book piece with CoLAB Arts. Some of her previous publications include 12th Street Journal, Lumina Journal, and The New Context.
This residency is made possible in part through a Research Council Grant from Rutgers University-New Brunswick. We are incredibly grateful for the generosity of time and spirit from Jennifer Hinton, Hector Perez, and the Unity Square Comunidad.
