Next on the interview tip lets get to know Kristin Gamez. She is awesome both involved in art and music check it out…
Q: Tell me a bit about yourself and your background in the San Antonio art scene?
A: I was a participant of an inner city youth arts non–profit called San Antonio Youth Yes, SAY SI in high school. I began working with digital art and was introduced to digital video and the use of installation pieces. We would have art shows every First Friday of the month and I gained much exposure to the San Antonio art scene then. However, once I left for the University of Texas I have not been involved with the art scene since 2001. It has only been since my work with the collective that I have returned to the San Antonio art scene.
Q:How did you get involved with Más Rudas?
Q: Being it is your first collective show in Los Angeles what is your goal for this show or feelings on it?
Q: Where do you see MAS RUDAS or yourself in the future with projects?
A: I see us completing youth media/art workshops and completing out of state and in state art exhibitions.
Thank You Kristin for that. There are two more girls that were not able to make it because of obligations , but I still wanted to get their voice on the blog in support of the collective. Stay tuned to the blog for the next interview with Sarah Castillo.
