West Indian, American, Black, Indian, Jewish and Mormon, like her art work, Ceres’ personal identity defies categorization.

Since the 1970s, zines—short for “fanzines,” magazines, or self-published booklets of texts and images, usually made with a copy machine—have given a voice and visibility to many operating outside of mainstream culture. Artists have harnessed the medium’s essential role in communication and community building and used it to transform material and conceptual approaches to art making across all media.

In Beyond the Sovereign Self Grant H. Kester continues the critique of aesthetic autonomy begun in The Sovereign Self, showing how socially engaged art provides an alternative aesthetic with greater possibilities for critical practice. Instead of grounding art in its distance from the social, Kester shows how socially engaged art, developed in conjunction with forms of social or political resistance, encourages the creative capacity required for collective political transformation.

Calexico Chronicle
"The San Diego-based artists’ collective Electronic Disturbance Theater provided the weekend’s culminating performance, which took place alongside both sides of the border fence. Performed in a hypnotic call-and-response oration, this solemn trans-border opera described the history and horrors of transnational technological surveillance while thickets of razor wire loomed overhead, and a squadron of drones buzzed back and forth."
