UNDO Spotlight: A Showcase of Supported Projects — Day 1
UnionDocs is thrilled to invite you to a night celebrating the incredible artists supported by our Fiscal Sponsorship program! Come through and tune into a special showcase of work with the following artists in attendance: Bernardo Ruiz, Helena Kincaid-Nalladurai & Daniel Nalladurai, Jess Shane, Daniel Lombroso, Ruoyen Chen, Kyuri Jeon, David Osit, Joseph Stankus, Ashley Connor, Katherine Heiserman, Elana Meyers, Margaret Vatterott, Mitra Kaboli, Aaron Edwards, Adam Seth Golfer, Ester Casey, Kaelyn Lynch, Brian Becker, Andree Ljutica and Simon Liu!
Their work traverses extraordinary terrain — from the fragile myths of American masculinity to the lives of Chinese poets navigating migration and political divides, and the enduring influence of childhood encounters with poetry. These projects move through New York’s housing system and across its five boroughs by bus, unearth the buried histories of sanitation workers’ strikes, and reimagine a beloved American play as an intimate act of collective listening. They explore the politics of time through jet lag and colonial histories, chart Hong Kong’s shifting landscape through experimental moving images, and imagine a visitor from the future guiding immigrant families to safety in Queens. Elsewhere, they trace the improbable political resurrection of Jeremy Corbyn, follow families through the small rituals of everyday life, and find unlikely defenders of truth in the volunteer editors of Wikipedia. They journey along the militarized US–Mexico border and the volcanic slopes of Sicily, reckon with illness, memory, and the changing bonds between loved ones, and follow a group of Swedish rappers chasing music, friendship, and the possibility of making it.
This is a free community event. Come through and toast these pioneering artists and their budding projects!
All of the presenting artists in this program received a 2026 Support for Artists grant, administered through UnionDocs’ fiscal sponsorship program and made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with support from the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature
