Díaz Lewis

Established 2012, Havana/Chicago

Cuban artist Alejandro Díaz-Perera and Kansas City, Missouri, native Cara Megan Lewis merged their art practices in 2012. Their work as the collective Díaz Lewis draws on their roots in conceptual art, performance, photography, and sculpture, exploring issues of human rights and nurturing a tradition of social activism.

  • So excited to finally share the news that "Ai Weiwei: Yours Truly" will make its WORLD PREMIERE at this year’s @sffilm festival! #SFFilm #SFFilmfestival. April 14, 7:30 pm one time only screening. Link to tickets in bio. __ @yourstrulydoc @aiww
  • The “Yours Truly” installation grew out of #AiWeiwei's desire to let prisoners of conscience know that they, and the causes they fought for, are not forgotten. 92,829 postcards were sent to prisoners of conscience in the U.S. and across the globe. #YoursTrulyDoc picks up where that story ends, sharing personal stories from both sides of the journey. __ #StayTuned this Wednesday, March 20th for our exciting announcement about the #YoursTrulyDoc. In the meantime, be sure to follow the film on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter @yourstrulydoc. Although we’ll be sharing lots of news here, @yourstrulydoc is where you’ll get all the juicy behind-the-scenes details and extras. __ #ArtAboutPlace #HumanRights #YoursTrulyDoc #Art #Alcatraz
  • @cheryllhaines here with a big announcement (...or rather, a soon-to-be big announcement). As many of you know, FOR-SITE has been hard at work on a documentary film based on the “Yours Truly” installation that was part of #AiWeiwei’s exhibition on #Alcatraz. Well, the film is just about complete and we have some very exciting news to share with you next week. #StayTuned for the reveal March 20th! . . . . . . . . . #ArtAboutPlace #HumanRights #YoursTrulyDoc #Art
  • @okaymilly again for the last day of my FOR-SITE instagram takeover! In honor of #InternationalWomensDay, I’m dedicating today’s post to artist Alicia McCarthy (@helloforever), who recently installed this incredible 100 x 100’ mural on an eight-story wall overlooking the Civic Center BART station. In 2013 I was fortunate to work with Alicia on a group exhibition at SFAI (prior to FOR-SITE I was the curator of special projects at @sfaiofficial) titled “Energy That is All Around,” and I also commissioned her for a mural which is currently on view at SFAI’s Fort Mason Campus. The Market and 7th Street mural was organized by @luggagestoregallery. __ Who are the women artists that inspire you? Share your thoughts in the comments! __ Photos: 1.
