Jewcy Art: Maya Escobarby Margarita Korol, February 24, 2011
In 2007 we dubbed her the Anti-Feminist Feminist Jewish Latina. We stumbled upon performance artist/ Internet curator/ editor Maya Escobar again at the GA in New Orleans where her video installations were making a Marina Abramovich-style scene near Jewcy’s booth. She uses the web as a platform for engaging in critical community dialogues that concern processes by which identities are socially and culturally constructed. She performs multiple identities, sampling widely from online representations of existing cultural discourses.

Clearly, The Fat Free Elotera has played a major role in last few corn related posts. And, just when you thought she was gone... she's back. And she's doing what she does best... dancing with the crew.[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIAL-MCPe_A][youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz1kVvMO0os][youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAbJPSCofh8][youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CWxcXbbWzE][youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYqf6DEqAfk][youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkKW9UEQb5E][youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ucteHb6j-M][youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32apk7hVlwo]
Finding Frida on Are You My Other?
Earlier this week AM and I decided to add a search function to Are You My Other?We quickly discovered the unthinkable...Our fame-seeking Fat Free Elotera is NOT #1 search on our blog. Instead, this slot belongs to the one and only Frida Kahlo.
Hmm... I wonder how our little Elotera will respond.

AM I her or is she ME: The Chronicles of The Fat Free Elotera
The Fat Free Elotera is a (developing) character on Are You My Other? The Battle Between The Self and The Other, an ongoing self-portrait dialog exchange project, produced by myself (ME) and Philadelphia-based performance and installation artist Andria Morales (AM). Through a series of weekly exchanged blog posts, Andria and I publicly negate, deconstruct, and reconstruct our individual histories, identities, and conceptions of self.
