Window Dressing - CON EL NOPAL EN LA FRENTEWindow Dressing - CON EL NOPAL EN LA FRENTEMarch 10, 2024 Nube Cruz CON EL NOPAL EN LA FRENTE Mar 3 – Mar 16, 2024 Nube Cruz’s Window Dressing installation, Con El Nopal En La Frente (With the Nopal on the Forehead), is a physical manifestation of their ongoing exploration of Nopal Futurity, an art practice that (re)mixes older indigenous technologies and the idea of Indigenous Futurity with a cuir/queer indigena perspective. Recognizing that Amerindigenous peoples have already been living in a post-apocalyptic world since 1492, Cruz’s work seeks to activate the potential for contemporary liberation through the historical reconstruction, and innovative development, of (new) Indigena cosmologies. By excavating the historical invisibility of native people’s advancement of, and contribution to, the technologies of modern society, Cruz hopes to disrupt the standard Western modernist narrative in order to rematriate, retrieve, and reconstruct images and obliterate the borders, legalities, histories, objects, resources, and bodies that have otherwise been co-opted by the colonial gaze. Through sculpture, photography, and performative video documentation, invoking what they call ‘indigie-archivist research,’ their installation will begin the necessary conversation on how the possibilities and potentialities of indigenous futures might be engaged and activated. Nube Cruz is and artist and activist currently completing their BFA degree at UCLA. They have exhibited in numerous group exhibitions, including We Are Made of the Earth, Our Skin Says So at A+R+T Gallery in Los Angeles, The Aesthetics of Undocumentedness at Dalton Gallery in Altanta, and The Latinx Project at NYU in New York.
