In March, I was invited to write a profile of Chris E. Vargas who was named Yerba Buena Center for the Art's inaugural Community Engagement Artist-in-Resident. I also got to be on the jury panel for this amazing award. Chris' project and work in general is so smart and relevant. It was such a pleasure to be able to spend some time with him in his studio before he, sadly, moved from the Bay. Chris' work can be seen here and you can read the piece here.
