Corrido de Gabrielito

This report narrates an incident involving barbed wire at a family ranch that became central to the work I’ve been making during my time in the graduate program at the University of Texas at Austin. I’ll be recounting my experience revising the site and reflecting on the underlining poetics of the story which led to the development of a corrido, a few paintings, and an installation; all of which serve to be commemorative monuments to my family and home along both sides of the Rio Grande.
