ELISEO CASIANO
The work of Eliseo Casiano is an examination of pejorative societal devices that pronounce positions of racial inferiority and feelings of alienation, providing a context to the dissonance between his Tejano heritage and childhood aspiration to feel "normal" in a white space. He re-contextualizes family stories in relation to cultural signifiers, social mobility, and ethnic representation to decipher his understanding of our present political climate.
