Distant Company (Con Pan)

Mark Anthony Hernandez Motaghy is an artist and cultural worker. They live in the occupied territory of the Naumkeag, Pawtucket, and Massachusett tribe. Operating with mediums such as experimental video, as well as installation, books, and oral histories, Mark's current practice is exploring sites of commoning, care-based economies, and socio-technical imaginaries. Mark published the book Rehearsing Solidarity: Learning from Mutual Aid in collaboration with Crown Heights Mutual Aid (CHMA) and Mutual Aid Medford and Somerville (MAMAS). The book tells the story of how these groups assembled for the COVID-19 crisis and what it meant to reassemble for the capitalist crisis.
