A conversation with Michael Anthony García, a multidisciplinary artist and a key figure in the Austin Latinx art scene, about his curating and art practice. We also discuss the possibilities of art and about world-making through art, both, for the present and future.
Michael Anthony García is a multidisciplinary artist and curator based in Austin working across different genres: performance, sculpture, photography, and video, sometimes fusing them. As a key figure in the Austin Latinx art scene, García also curates (with) care by bringing people, words, and art (objects) together and elevating them. At the heart of these cojoined endeavors, there is an intersectional politics and a desire to elevate BIPOC voices. In addition to his curating practice, further evidence of this are the art magazine POCa Madre he edits and the podcast El Puente he co-hosts. We sit down to learn about his art practice, as well as his curating and caring practice, and talk about the possibilities of art for our everyday lives now and in the future.
