Public actions, kite sculptures, videos, workshops, photographs

2026

I organized ​“Partager le Ciel” (translation: ​“Sharing the Sky”), a collective public action held at the Bois de Vincennes on May 24. The event invited participants from the Latinx migrant community to take part in a communal act of kite-flying.

This project stems from a desire to create spaces for encounter, memory, and solidarity from exile. Through the collective creation of kites, research, and public interventions, I have explored the sky as a symbolic and political territory. A place from which to imagine a community in freedom and with justice, even in times marked by forced displacement, militarization, and the struggle for common spaces.

Habiter le Ciel: Open Studio Cité Internationale des Arts

Open studio titled ​“Habiter le ciel” (translation: ​“Inhabiting the sky”) on June 10 at the Cité internationale des arts. The open studio took the form of an ephemeral exhibition, bringing together kites created during my stay in Paris; videos documenting performative and community actions in Los Angeles and at the Bois de Vincennes; a participatory photographic archive made by participants; images from from my research at the Berck International Kite Festival; and a fanzine reflecting on my research process.
