“I remember talking to [curator] Rita Gonzalez around the time of ‘Phantom Sightings’ and describing it as 'Mango Modernism.’ I’m, like, give me something with color and a mango print and it makes me happy. But it was also a political move against the hegemony of black and white.”
A detail of Carolyn Castaño’s “Mantel,” 2022. On view in the solo exhibition, “Future Ruana,” at Walter Maciel Gallery through Oct. 29, 2022.
