In process, building my new keyboard to build the new universes, the new dreams, to activate the potential into kinetic, play into playfulness, and to send emails, sweet and sour and umami, towards union, spark, and joy. 🙃🥑 #nourishmentnotjustfood #fourier #playtivist #poetry #escritor (at Tito's Tacos) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsJKe67hWkR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2fapfh2tgmvm

Poem for #40daysofSelf. These are the threads I write, that i cobble together to make a life. My poetry sparks my stories, films, and comedy. A humble gift to energy healers and poets who feed me in their feeds. And to you. Translation in the link above. #mariposa #poetry #poesia #writer #nourishmentnotjustfood # (at Butterfly Pavillion) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bno0QVvhUPp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=21ph3azbb203

22: gratitude for Dr. Showkot Rahman for saying she waited the entire run of the exhibition for the opening of the pickles. That's all an artist like myself can hope for, to create anticipation and wonder through the chisme surrounding what I create. Thank you Dr. Rahman for the kindness and the blessings! #anticipation #blessings #blessingsfromdoctors #40daysofself #pickles #luckyme #kindness #nourishmentnotjustfood (at Barnsdall Art Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3D55ZhAXrj/?igshid=196gm8rlbrzd0

21: about yesterday, super grateful to everyone who attended my performance/workshop/talk at @lamagbarnsdall where I explained my process behind hopscotch and pickles and led people in a writing workshop to go through the same process I did to transpose immigrant stories onto the mechanics of hopscotch. This final performance I did on Sunday was part of the design of the installation focused on how to create multiple levels of participation to discuss how immigrants edit/remix and remove the painful, shameful, difficult, complicated parts of their arrivals to the US or other wisdom they impart or do not impart to their children. Questions that drove Th e project: how do we make viewers participants? Why should anybody care about participating in a space like a gallery, which as a system does not care for people to participate, just be passive viewers? How does a brown or black man not have to perform their own violence, exertion, labor for notoriety, fame, access to resources in the art world, And make the audience risk with them? For the possibility of joy/elation as much as the consequence of suffering? And what does someone, that does not speak English, do when they want to impart wisdom and there is no translation? This can be said for a recipe or any other wisdom they wish to impart. Even though there were all these ideas, this is a lot of fun and brought me a lot of joy. Thank you to @lamagbarnsdall and all their staff. Can't wait to do it again. And sad to see the show go. #40daysofself #artista #iranianguatemalansunite #nourishmentnotjustfood #travelcook #pickle #risk #gamedesign #hopscotch (at Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3D5r3nAZhY/?igshid=1odjt8dpzfywf

17: for this #40daysofSelf, I have been reading books by friends. To reconnect to their voices, their wisdom. To take the time to hear them. I spend hours and hours reading dead people or “traditional” lit of complicated authors that may be great storytellers, but as people, I don’t really know. Why not enjoy living lit from people who love and nourish me and honor their wisdom with a close read? I am reading #letterstoblackparentsvisitingearth by @janetstickmon being inspired about how to raise my goddaughter, my self, my community. A book, at first, I didn’t know what to expect, and realize perfect time, perfect book. Her book reminded me the necessity of why we all need to take space with our narratives, our language, our memories, our chisme. I am wrting poems on all my books these days, and this is one I wrote inspired by Janet who always inspires me. Get this book people, if for nothing else, to hear this necessary voice. It will irritate, soothe, and spark. This is not a paid endorsement, more of poetic testimonial. #40daysofself #book #nourishmentnotjustfood #blackparents #earth #visitingplanetearth #love #onethirdonethirdonethird #defendyourchildren #friends (at Süleymaniye Mosque) https://www.instagram.com/p/B22PKQNAv0Z/?igshid=1y1e4tdpg5ume

12: I am always searching for new vessels for poetry and story. So I have been playing with game mechanics: they are metaphors, so why not play with language, que no? My newest attempt deals with omission and how immigrants share/omit wisdom in telling stories of arrival to the US to their children. It is in the last 11 days of its existence when the exhibit closes. So many folks in LA, ask me when’s your next show? Answer: there’s one now! At the @lamagbarnsdall. Go and see other wonderful artists for the #offal exhibit. And go... See my installation; hopscotch and pickles, it’s one of the only ones you need to sign a release to engage! Yes!!! How’s that for pinche dangerous art, @mad.mex55 ? #40daysofSelf #games #gamedesign #arte #participatory #nourishmentnotjustfood (at Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2kU5i7ANDy/?igshid=tt3rpfpote2y

6: birthday wish COMPLETE. I wanted to spin as DJ Farid Mercury for my bday to hopefully spark a new path for myself, & celebrate the spirit of FreddyMercury and I DID!! (And I am inspired to do it again!) Had so much fun remixing the harmonics of random selection that is the collection of @pntbtrwlf and selecting records channeling with a WWFD. Here are some highlights of some of my selections (minus all the freestyle I played) Full of gratitude for everyone who showed up. And thanks to @pntbtrwlf for trusting me with his records and creating such a great play space (and all the bartenders are great deejays of da cocktails). Will put up my playlist soon. #playspace #40daysofSelf #queen #freddtmercury #faridmercury #iranianguatemalansunite #nourishmentnotjustfood (at Gold Line) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2FRq50AoDD/?igshid=wf8bdawf6ext

3: I ate dragonfruit and kiwi sorbet on a hilltop. Why does this matter to you? I really don’t know. What does matter to you? Why are you reading this post? Why it matters to me? I was surprised! By the color and the flavor. I love being surprised on the daily. Not the government-official-engages-in-stupid-activity surprise. More the power and beauty of nature, and how our imaginations can remix (and sometimes expand) that beauty. #40daysofSelf #travelcook #nourishmentnotjustfood #dragonfruitporvida #surprise https://www.instagram.com/p/B12YSuVA5Li/?igshid=1k98caubty7e9
