José Ángel

José Ángel is an interdisciplinary Mexican artist based in Oxnard, CA, whose work explores surreality, dreams, identity, and interpersonal connection. His artmaking process involves surrealist automatism, relying on the human body and intuition as sources for creation, exploring everyday life, human relationships, and the tension between connection and alienation. José’s art becomes a necessary tool for healing, survival, and resistance to the chronic demands of a productivity obsessed society. He works with multiple mediums to create spaces for reflection on mental health, community, and the shared experience of navigating a complex world.

2024: Quilt for Palestine Fundraiser

Friday, December 13, 2024 9PM–12AM
At FCCW: 3053 Rosslyn St. LA, CA 90065
Suggested donation sliding scale: $1-$25

Reflection of Space invites performers Avery Collins-Byrd, Jose, Eva Speiser, and Nube Cruz to share their work that encapsulates the way space changes the body. At times we do not notice the changes that our bodies morph through; like how our bodies change in weight by a small piece of lent tagging along with us from home. Or the way our body changes under the pressures of society, colonization, and capitalism. This will be an intimate viewing of performances, and we ask folks to be present for the duration of each performance. This show will also be a part of fundraising relief for Palestinians going through an extreme genocide of their bodies and Native lands.
