““I am grateful for the trust they placed in me and my vision, especially when delving into the inner workings of the residency and engaging with the laborers who are an integral part of its ecosystem..””
Eugenio Salas used his time at RAIR to conduct a socially engaged performance in collaboration with Revolution Recoveries laborers. Together they designed and fabricated a cooking sculpture which was used to cook and prepare a team meal made by one of the workers at Revolution Recovery. Collaborating with grassroots Latina journalist ______, Eugenio conducted a series of story telling sessions as well as photo based portraits with the laborers on the yard. This collaboration provided a bridge of communication between the residency and the space it inhabits which crossed language and cultural barriers to join in a communal space clebrating the power of food and story telling.
