On view in Greater New York, Cinthya Santos-Briones’s work depicts a Mickey Mouse birthday party, a child running through a desolate chapel, clotheslines, a religious decal on the hood of a car, and more. “Living in Sanctuary” (2018–2024) documents the everyday lives of families and individuals seeking refuge within churches, asylums, and religious institutions across New York, New Mexico, and the US-Mexico border.
Join us on June 7 for a talk between the artist and scholar Fred Ritchin () at Artbook @ PS1, where she will discuss how artists’ and activists’ archives can resist the systemic erasure of undocumented children and families, as well as her ongoing research at the US-Mexico border, and the ethics of photographing social change. RSVP in bio.
