About maya escobar
I
am a performance artist, Internet curator, and editor. I use the web as
a platform for engaging in critical community dialogues that concern
processes by which identities are socially and culturally constructed.
I perform multiple identities and sample widely from online
representations and existing cultural discourses. My identifications as
a Latina-Jewish artist, dyslexic blogger, activist and educator are
indexed by the blogs I keep, the visual and textual links I post, the
books, articles, and blog posts I cite, the public comments I leave,
and the groups I join.
By
examining and re-imagining my personal experiences, I attempt to
provide others with a framework for questioning societal limitations
based on gendered and racialized cultural generalizations.
