Art Uncovered

Home, border town, browness, whiteness and cardboard fashion with Juan Carlos Escobedo

Kimberly Ruth

Juan Carlos Escobedo is a San Antonio-based artist whose work explores his identity as a queer, brown, Mexican-American, raised in a low-socioeconomic community along the US/Mexico border. 

In this episode Kimberly and Juan talk about the culture shock Juan experienced moving from the south to the north east, his experience with residual glass and race shame and his quote unquote high end fashion label of garments made largely out of cardboard.
