13: Vocabulary Across Media with Jaclyn Reyes
Artist and researcher Jaclyn Reyes is in conversation with host Catherine LaSota on this episode of Part of the Practice. Jaclyn discusses her relationship with drawing, the Filipino community, her work with the United Nations, and her current role as a Ph.D. student in the Social Welfare program at the CUNY Graduate Center. She talks about what it's like for her to be in artist in the United States and in the Philippines, and about how her background in photography informs her practice. Jaclyn also reflects on her feelings about being an artist of immigrant parents, and the way she approaches the vocabularies that are inherent in different media.
