Hidrante is pleased to facilitate a residence for Awilda Sterling-Duprey, in collaboration with San Juan 721.
Awilda Sterling-Duprey (b. 1947, San Juan, PR) is an experimental, independent, and multidisciplinary artist. Her practice and studies incorporate bodywork techniques and a mix of contemporary and experimental kinesthetics. Her most recent artistic endeavors fuse abstract expressionism, Caribbean dance, animation, performance, sound, and video. She is a founding member of Pisotón, the first experimental dance collective in Puerto Rico.
During her time at San Juan 721, Sterling-Duprey will be rehearsing for Lacks Criticality's presentation, running March 3-5 at the Whitney Museum of American Art, as part of the exhibition, no existe un mundo poshuracán: Puerto Rican Art in the Wake of Hurricane Maria, curated by Marcela Guerrero, Jennifer Rubio Associate Curator, with Angelica Arbelaez, Rubio Butterfield Family Fellow, and Sofía Silva, former Curatorial & Education Fellow at U.S. Latinx Art.
This project is possible thanks to the in-kind support of San Juan 721.
