Join us for an in-depth walkthrough of In Residence 18th Edition, an annual group exhibition celebrating HCCC’s Artist Residency Program. This event offers a unique opportunity to engage with artists Nela Garzón and Macon Reed, providing insight into their creative processes and the conceptual foundations of their work. 

About the Artists

Nela Garzón is a multidisciplinary visual artist whose work explores the intersection of traditions, cultural diversity, and acculturation. Drawing inspiration from diverse cultures, she addresses themes of colonialism, racism, social injustice, and migration, critically examining the impact of ethnocentrism in dominant societies. With a passion for folk art and handcrafts, Garzón immerses herself in traditional techniques, reinterpreting them to comment on the effects of globalization and capitalism. Her work advocates for the preservation of ancestral knowledge, the promotion of pride in minority communities, and the acceptance of immigrants and refugees in a pluricultural world.

Macon Reed is an artist working in sculpture, ceramics, installation, fibers, video, and social practice. Their work draws from participation in queer, punk, and DIY communities that experiment with how we can, and cannot, consciously shape the world in which we live. Their brightly colored, large-scale installations combine studio and social practices to create temporary worlds that highlight undervalued histories and social issues.
