This year’s artists are:

• Maddie Butler, MFA, University of California, San Diego: Butler’s interdisciplinary art explores the way technology shapes human relationships. She takes apart discarded electronics and (mis)uses their components, creating work that counter-mediates the machine via a wide range of body-centered processes.

• Coralys Carter, MFA, University of California, San Diego: Carter is a multimodal weaver living and working in Southern California. Currently pursuing an MFA in Visual Arts, Carter is furthering her material exploration into the concept of bodies rooted in spaces and places rooted in bodies.

• Nykelle DeVivo, MFA, University of California, San Diego: DeVivo is a Portland based visual artist working with light through various mediums to navigate the crossroads between the physical world and that of their ancestors.

• Adele Gaburo, BA, San Diego State University: Although Gaburo works with a variety of materials in her mixed media sculpture practice, silicone and fabric are her most loved for their ability to emulate the human body.  Her work addresses body dysmorphic disorder, and the empty, shameful, and all-consuming feelings of otherness that can be associated with it.

• Emily Greenberg, MFA, University of California, San Diego: Greenberg is an artist, filmmaker, writer, editor, and educator living in San Diego. Her artworks and films have been shown at Festival ECRÃ, Videobardo, Smack Mellon, SIGGRAPH, ISEA, the Knockdown Center, Columbus International Film & Animation Festival, Digerati Emergent Media Festival, and Screener Short Films, and her writing has appeared in the Iowa Review, McSweeney’s, Electric Literature, Michigan Quarterly Review, Witness, Santa Monica Review, and Chicago Quarterly Review.

• Nanzi Muro, MFA, San Diego State University: Muro is an interdisciplinary Fronteriza artivist based in San Diego. Born in Los Angeles, she grew up along the San Diego/Tijuana border, embracing her dual identity as both American and Mexican. Her recent work emphasizes her border identity and critiques the growing militarization of the U.S.-Mexico border while honoring migrants who have lost their lives in search of a better life.
• Maya Rosado, BA, University of California, San Diego: Rosado is an Indigenous artist with ancestral roots from the North and Central American diaspora. Being a first-generation daughter to parents with P’urepecha and Mayan ancestry from Mexico and El Salvador, Rosado’s work is influenced by the adaptations of her cultural traditions in Southern California.
