Ep. 8 \ Exploring Identity Through Sculpture with Justin Favela
In this episode, we speak to Justin Favela, a mixed media artist born in Las Vegas, Nevada known for his large-scale installations and sculptures that comment on American pop culture and the Latinx experience. In our conversation, he talks about how he uses pinatas as a medium to express his identity and explore the notion of authenticity; how being a queer person of color shaped his work; how his work has changed because of the pandemic and racial reckoning; and he also speaks about the other innovative projects that he’s working on.
