@border_becky, Video, 10 minutes, 50 Seconds

The video @Border_Becky follows a social media controversy in which two students, Becky and Kyle, are caught in the middle of a protest while engaging in site-based research at the US-Mexico border. While in the midst of this chaos, the couple navigates the drama of their evolving romantic relationship. As they confront their own queer and class identities Becky and Kyle must rethink their understanding of the gender binary parallel within the context of the temporal binaries of the U.S./Mexico border. The video layers performative digital activism with the trauma that haunts those whose identity is not an optional performance.

Ritualz is a piece where I welcome the audience into the uncomfortable practice of self-reflection. Rituals are the things we do every day in the privacy of our homes, that we perform to “fit in” to the various subcultures of society. As a first generation Latinx woman, this ritual is my way of pregaming code-switching in the multicultural communities that have defined me --latinx, hip-hop, preppy, queer, etc. Each subculture is defined by their fashion and music that I awkwardly try to fit into, take off, and reinterpret. The juxtaposing and remixing of various subcultures is my want to be a “unique” individual, reflecting the American obsession with the freedom to be an individual; but in that still remains the human need to belong. By showing the grotesque parts of this ritual --- pimple popping, food munching, fat jiggling, noodle slurping—are the things that we all do that make us all human regardless of what subculture we belong in. This act of self-reflection ensues pride, shame, ​and confusion that as a POC woman I have no choice but to consider before I walk out of the house.
