Rafael Sánchez
Many of the artist's works bridge private rituals with the movement of the street environment. In this garden, the artist will be performing another of his Sound Protest works, in which he uses a boombox and a series of photographs to call attention to current issues around the environment and the signifiance of our waterways.
