And it's very personal, but hopefully because I belong to so many communities, I'm a woman, I am a lesbian, but I'm a woman of color and an immigrant so many communities are always there.

And there is a project I'm working on. That is called ALL I SEE that I started during the NYC COVID 19 lockdown, includes walking around Forest Park and then building a path [of sound] for that area and then photographing, [and then designing or] making postcard with these photographs and then exchanging the postcards with people I haven't seen for months.

I'm interested in cities, of course, and Forest park is a park in an urban community, but still for me the photography about nature was a little bit of a choking thing. It is too pretty. I prefer ruins and graffiti and trucks. Then out of the sudden i am photographing nature, I was there in front of that beauty, it doesn't make more sense to me to photograph [nature] since many good photographers with really good equipment are doing it but at the end I just, you know, I put a spin on the project and I'm kind of liking what is happening now with it.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/943/collection_resources/50657/file/123474#t=313.0,364.0"},{"id":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/943/collection_resources/50657/file/123474/transcript/32126/annotation/20","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Heejung Cho: Yeah, yeah.

But I also teach and I teach at York College well then we meet with the neighbors in the area and we exchange experiences. One of the performance I did for SEQAA was to ask, for any ideas or thoughts about Cuba, while neighbors would eat a piece of cake in the shape of the Island. So I will exchange a piece of the cake for your idea of what is Cuba. We would build a place, with all the good things that we can record or either imagine or remember because we have been to the place. And the performane was called CONSUME A PIECE of Cuba before, well before.....then people will finish that phrase. people will say \"before the cars, the old cars dissapear\", \"before is full of McDonals\", so people will have different ideas of what is that place, with those ideas we will build a space, is that imaginary Cuba, or the mythological Cuba....","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/943/collection_resources/50657/file/123474#t=387.0,481.0"},{"id":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/943/collection_resources/50657/file/123474/transcript/32126/annotation/22","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Heejung Cho: We mean, you actually talking about like this kind of a project that are happening the each year the summer, but then you said as a member of the happening with the all member about the Southeast Queen's artist alliance Yeah.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/943/collection_resources/50657/file/123474#t=481.0,494.0"},{"id":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/943/collection_resources/50657/file/123474/transcript/32126/annotation/23","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Jacqueline Herranz-Brooks: Yes, yes.

So that was, she did like a green card and she gave you one so the citizenship was to everyone that was there with us, so each of us, we had 11 different projects that summer. The next summer we did a project that I really like that it was a cart, we bult a cart [designed] by Elizabeth Velásquez.

This Project is more of the same like when I do autofiction but on and about Latinx people who have been living in New York and creating their works for the 20 years I have been here. So I use an organization that I founded in 1999, Latino artists round table. I used it as, let's say a panoptic and from there I kind of started making like a net of artists that participated in any of our conferences or readings. And then I did like a kind of cross if they collaborate, I took them. And at the end, I have six writers, but also, you know, very very hybrid who produce autofiction for these years is years I have been, you know, friends with them or being able to follow their work.
