“We’re honored to host this residency by Noelia Quintero and Rita Indiana, both of
whom use the creative and performing arts to address issues of contemporary
Caribbean identities, politics, and gender,” says Gerald R. Greenberg, senior
associate dean for A&S and interim director of the Humanities Center. “That their
collaboration is both a personal and professional one is sure to evoke an insightful
dialogue.” In addition to being a filmmaker, Quintero is a digital media specialist, scriptwriter,
and producer. She has worked on various projects for television, radio, and film
throughout the United States, Latin America, and Europe.
La motora roja tiene que aparecer (loosely translated as The Red Motor Must
Appear) is typical of Quintero’s interest in the “needs and shifts” of contemporary
culture. “The street is kind of a memory pool, where every-day experiences, art,
and communication take on a kind of primitive form,” she says. “Art manifested in
urban spaces shows us where and how we live.”
Quintero's partner, Indiana,
is equally prolific. Famously
tall and androgynous
