past work

In 2017 macorina media formed as a small production company engaging artists with hyper-local to regional coalition work, including: just transition, cancel rent, amazon out of Queens, DC tenant’s strike, emergency response planning, and alternatives to policing. It was my creative home base, and a way to continue curating collaborative projects among artists in relationship with different organized communities.

A formal MWBE small business license allowed us to apply for larger grants, fund productions, and pay artists whenever possible. The purpose was for every phase of production (from pre-production to distribution) to prioritize our communities.

macorina media ended as a project in summer 2023. stay tuned for future iterations of collective work.

All work below is free to use for education & community building purposes:

  • First They Came for My Mother When Dani & Kali’s mother is kidnapped by the state, they rely on the support of their neighbors to enact her emergency resilience plan.

  • In 2030 Unicorns Roam the Streets of Roosevelt Jaqueline is a 7 year-old who roams the streets as a unicorn when mom isn’t home. No dialogue. Intended for use w/ multi-lingual spaces to encourage discussion around forms of caring for one another on the street.

  • El Naya Route of Peace. El Naya Routa de la Paz This visual testimony is a community's response to VICE's 2018 documentary, "The Naya: Colombia’s Hidden Cocaine Route." VICE’s documentary portrays autonomous Afro-Colombian and Native territory, the Naya River basin, as a desolate area used solely for cocaine production. The narrative pushed by VICE is one we know too well here as Black and Brown communities in the U.S.: it's a story that invisibleizes, victimizes, and criminalizes all with the aim to displace.
