Lauren La Rose (she/they) is a disabled/chronically ill, LatinX multidisciplinary artist, researcher and educator working at the intersection of curation, producing, radical pedagogy and social practice. Motivated by the personal and political, their research investigates counternarrative and participatory practices, expanding definitions of what it means to be mixed-race, disabled, and queer.
Hold What You Love is the beginning of a participatory, embodied sound and video installation, experimenting with how to radically archive the stories we never tell. Situated within a long historical conversation between technology and protest. The durational performance interrogates how technological advancements have been used to promote and suppress social movements, and how disabled and BIPOC histories fit within these narratives.
