Alejandro Alonso Díaz is a visiting Barcelona based curator with a background in art history, social sciences and philosophy. His curatorial and writing practice is concerned with socio-political discourses that revolve around notions of materiality, environmentalism, human agency and interspecies communality. As part of the activities to be developed through his time in Los Angeles, Alejandro Alonso Díaz will present both his individual curatorial practice and the work he develops for fluent, a project space for artistic research. While in residence, he will also conduct studio visits and portfolio reviews with artists and fellow curators in residence, as well as a program of visits to other LA-based museums, independent projects and galleries, and studio visits in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Drawing on the mission and vision of 18th Street Arts Center, Alejandro will organize a public program on the theme of ”Environmental Circulation,” framing contemporary anthropocentrism.

Workshop and Screening events will be held August 21 and 28 from 6-8 PM as part of Díaz’s project.
