About
Zacarías González is transdisciplinary artist and filmmaker based in NYC. Their practice looks at place-specific strategies for designing with life, rather than against it, particularly within the fields of agroecology, public architecture, and public health. Considering interconnectedness in the face of overlapping global crises, often using food as a container in which we explore our relationships through long-term participatory projects, interventions in public spaces, filmmaking, and writing.
They have previously been a visiting lecturer at The School of Visual Arts and New School University Eugene Lang College and serve on the board of directors for The Filmmaker’s Cooperative.
Recent collaborations with:
Red Canary Song, The Filmmaker’s Cooperative
The Institute for Public Architecture, Deli Radio, KERMESSE and Galerie Derouillon, Creative Time, The Storefront for Art and Architecture, MoMa PS1, Pioneer Works, Recess Art, Socrates Sculpture Park
