Rituals of Labor and Engagement: Carolina Caycedo and Mario Ybarra Jr.

Posted on Wed., Nov. 7, 2018

L.A. artists Carolina Caycedo and Mario Ybarra Jr. were invited to create new works in response to The Huntington's library, art, and botanical collections, as part of the contemporary arts initiative /five, produced in partnership with the Vincent Price Art Museum at East Los Angeles College. Inspired by different forms of ritual, Caycedo reconceptualized iconic Huntington spaces through Afro-Latino and indigenous spiritual practices and dance, while Ybarra responded to the timeless physical and mechanical processes needed to create masterful drawings and prints.
