Hi, my name is Jorge. I’m an artist, researcher, and glassblower from Yanaguana/Somi Se’k/San Antonio, Texas. I like thinking about land, history, technology, and material culture. Currently focused on foraging, interactive sculpture, and visual ethnography.

I am also a PhD student at MIT in the History, Anthropology, and Science, Technology, and Society program. My research is an ethnographic study on the development of Starbase and Mars colonization efforts in Brownsville and the U.S.-Mexico borderlands. You can find my initial MA thesis here.
