Join artist, designer, and activist Tanya Aguiñiga and MAD's Chief Curator, Shannon R. Stratton, for a conversation exploring the ongoing community-art and interventionist activities of the bi-national artist initiative AMBOS: Art Made Between Opposite Sides, featured in the exhibition Tanya Aguiñiga: Craft and Care (http://www.madmuseum.org/exhibition/tanya-agui%C3%B1iga-craft-care) .

Founded by Aguiñiga and launched in 2015, AMBOS is a long-term initiative that activates sites along the US–Mexico border through collaborative art-making and storytelling projects. Started as a month-long activation at the San Ysidro border crossing in Tijuana, it has evolved its focus to record and paint a picture of life along the length of the border. AMBOS members Jackie Amezquita, Cecilia Brawley, Gina Clyne, Natalie Godinez, and Diana Ryoo will also participate in the conversation.

This program is presented as part of NYCXDESIGN 2018.

May 8, 2018 to October 2, 2018

An artist, designer and activist, Aguiñiga has established herself as a crucial voice working at the intersection of fiber art, design, and social practice. Her work investigates how community is created, and the role that craft, design, and materiality play in its formation. Ranging from her "Performance Crafting" series and fiber art—which use craft to generate dialogues about identity, culture, and gender—to furniture whose material and form reimagine its functionality to provide "support," Aguiñiga shows a commitment to design thinking as political.
