TAMARA CEDRé
Tamara Cedré is a Puerto Rican photographer, artist and educator living along the route of the supply chain between Los Angeles and the Inland Empire. Her artistic practice employs archives to address issues at the nexus of land, labor, migration and identity. The Space is a community zine which grew from a state sponsored artwork she created entitled A Space Between Us, documenting pandemic stories from residents in San Bernardino.
Juan carrillo-dominguez
Juan Carrillo-Dominguez is an artist and researcher working in the Inland Empire. His work explores the shared experience of being a first-generation Chicano that was raised by a family who crossed the border for a better life. Juan documents social issues related to this migration that so deeply shapes Latinx communities. Due to the sensitive nature of his projects, Juan often publishes under a pseudonym.
JAMES M DAILEY
James M Dailey was raised and lives in Hesperia California. Their photographic work includes themes of water as a resource, along with space being a diminishing commodity.
