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.
Next week, The New School hosts the Festival of New, celebrating the university's centennial and one hundred years of world-changing ideas.
