DESCRIPTION:In Gravity of the Immigrant\, geology student + artist Jason Wi
 lson Navarro-Lopez challenges geology’s claim to objectivity\, insisting
  that the Earth is known through bodies\, histories\, and movement. Follow
 ing critical geographer Kathryn Yusoff’s work on geology and race\, they
  explore gravity as a geosocial force that names the intimate calculus of 
 space and time\, that has constructed the lifeworld of their transnational
  family from Quetzaltenango\, Guatemala to South Central Los Angeles.\n\nT
 he project uses speculative animation and electronic sound to construct a 
 geological field site from their family’s living room. This geological f
 ield of time organizes five sample sites: a black hole\, a garden\, a coma
 l\, a bus\, a mountain. Each operates as a temporal register: points of co
 ntact between deep time and my family.\n\nIn this way\, the field site bec
 omes both scientific and intimate: a space where Earth’s physics are rei
 magined through abolitionist worldbuilding within a physical installation 
 at Casa Zapata\, Stanford's Latine ethnic theme house. Gravity of the Immi
 grant will also be available online beginning May 22nd through New Art Cit
 y\, a virtual exhibition platform. The exhibition can be accessed here: ht
 tps://newart.city/show/gravityoftheimmigrant\n\nThis project was completed
  as part of Stanford Arts Institute's Honors in the Arts program
