Artists Guadalupe Rosales and Hank Willis Thomas are the recipients of this year’s Gordon Parks Foundation fellowships, which are given annually to artists working on themes related to representation and social justice. The foundation based in Pleasantville, New York, is giving the artists $20,000 grants in support of new projects. Rosales, who appeared on an ARTnews list of Los Angeles–based artists to watch last year, frequently focuses her work on her city’s Latinx and Chicanx communities, and has made a project of archiving photography related to each. Her latest photographic research will be presented by the foundation in July. [More]
