Carolina and David are internationally acclaimed artists currently based in Los Angeles. Carolina is a multidisciplinary creative whose work investigates relationships of movement, assimilation and resistance, and representation and control. Her practice, exemplified by projects like BE DAMMED, is focused on collective action and amplifies movements of territorial resistance, solidarity economies, and housing as a human right. David is a filmmaker and lecturer at San Francisco State University. His work explores encounters between history and memory, and the politics that shape these encounters. Most recently he produced, directed, and edited GIVE, a film with Roland Gordon. Together with HOLA Visual Arts students these phenomenal artists will be embarking on The Ideal X. 

Over five weeks of intensive workshops, students will build individual narratives through modifying their own mini shipping containers. The students, Carolina, and David will use these containers to develop a collaborative sculpture and story. In addition, a banner inspired by maritime flag language will be constructed. The project will be unveiled to the public at a spectacular end of summer celebration- stay tuned for details!
