Mar\u00eda DeGuzm\u00e1n, conceptual photographer and associate professor of English & Comparative Literature, Director of Latina\/o Studies at University of North Carolina, USA, was working with Jill Casid as SPIR, a queer feminist partnership from 1990-2003. They produced various kinds of photo-text works, photo-essays, postcards, manipulated polariods etc. Since 2003 Maria has been working on her Camera Query<\/a> project, photo-text work that poses questions about reality, identity, identification, subjectivity, and agency in time and space. It approaches photography as conceptual performance (visual practice as applied theory) and views the play between visual and verbal signs as media for philosophical and political exploration and production.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mar\u00eda DeG\u00fazman invites anyone in the Raleigh-Durham area, North Carolina, or with friends and colleagues in and around RDU to join her at the opening of Local Histories: The Ground We Walk On.
