I had the pleasure of hosting a high school class visit at my solo show. A fantastic group of students from LACHSA stopped by The Fulcrum to explore Fifteen Vaults and join in on a conversation about the work. The show is up through April 27th. The Fulcrum 422 Ord St. LA

New short film I directed for Plume launching on Trans Day of Visibility 🏳️‍⚧️ The project is a beautiful celebration of trans joy, resilience, and strength—at a time when access to gender-affirming healthcare has never been more essential. Produced by Sprinkle Lab 🎥

I just lost my California Humanities grant thanks to DOGE, Musk, Trump.

.Department of Government Efficiency defunded our documentary via California Humanities. Help us finish it: gofund.me/5aee8d17

On Friday afternoon, April 4, recipients of California Humanities grants received an email announcing the sudden cancellation of their funding from the statewide nonprofit, putting their work in jeopardy. kqed.org/arts/13974246/…

.President Donald J. Trump and Elon Musk defunded our documentary. KQED wrote about the devastating effects of these cancelled humanities grants: kqed.org/arts/13974246/…

Due to DOGE's defunding the National Endowment for the Humanities, California Humanities will suspend payments to recent grantees totalling $400,000. 48hills.org/2025/04/doge-y…

DOGE yanked funding for California Humanities, and the 50-year-old org just paused all its grants—I spoke with filmmaker brandon tauszik about how that leaves dozens of projects like his stranded: 48hills.org/2025/04/doge-y…

More coverage on me and Theo Schear’s defunded documentary.

Anti-ICE protestors in DTLA today.

The daily fear of simply living in LA, under a constant threat from ICE, has upended life for undocumented immigrants. For many, it means sheltering in place—avoiding work, social life, or even a walk outside. motherjones.com/politics/2025/…

Every day in LA, community patrols scan the streets for ICE agents. They’re part of Unión del Barrio, a self-described militant organization leading the resistance against mass deportations. My new short film with The Intercept takes you inside: youtu.be/e9lRq9nfevs

A City Fights Back ➡️ streaming NOW on DOCUMENTARY+ My film follows Los Angeles schoolteacher Ron Gochez as he leads Unión del Barrio’s grassroots resistance against the escalating wave of ICE raids. The film was published by The Intercept & supported by Economic Hardship Reporting Project.
