Ranchera Futurism

Project Description

My project Ranchera Futurism is a future exhibition of artwork that will be inspired and fueled by research into Texas history and ranch life. As a research fellow of UNT Special Collections, I will research materials in the collection that reference the ranching history of Texas, with a special eye to photographic and illustrative materials.
