In Absentia Concert—A Geometrica Pop y Rucas Program

ABOUT GEOMETRICA POP Y RUCAS

This exhibition explores the social parallels of midwestern and generational Latine identity. Geometrica, Pop y Rucas world. builds non-linear interactions with space, time, and, the latine body.

Non linear migration patterns are designed in the gallery to explore isolated confrontations of modernism; from the grid based infrastructure of Kansas City in a barren and industrial land, to the geometric contemporary design of Latine landscapes.

These confrontations exist in three movements: Infrastructure in pantomime, a destigmatized body, a futurism with land and body hybrids.
