Confessions from the Imperial Core by Nando Alvarez-Perez
Nando Alvarez-Perez is an artist and educator based in Buffalo, NY. His practice extends into his work as a founding director of The Buffalo Institute for Contemporary Art — an art and education nonprofit with a mission to model the ways culture can sustain communities through focused, practical engagements with contemporary art — and as editor-in-chief of Cornelia magazine, a visual art review published three times per year for the Western New York and Southern Ontario region.
His work asks questions about the boundaries between the personal and the political, about the discrepancies between history and biography, and about the relationship between memory, meaning, and place.
