About Hagudeza:

Hagudeza Rullán-Fantauzzi is an interdisciplinary artist whose work combines their contemporary ballet and choreographic training with film, projection, and installation based art. Hagudeza considers topics of gender, race, and sexuality while confronting the social constructs built upon the foundation of colonization and white supremacy.

Hagudeza is currently in Philadelphia where they have been a guest artist with Opera Philadelphia, Anne-Marie Mulgrew and Dancers, Drexel University, and Philadelphia Dance Theater. Hagudeza has created short dance films in collaboration with dancers from Philadelphia Ballet and Boston Ballet, and a commissioned ballet for the Brooklyn Center for the Arts. Hagudeza made their exhibition show debut by showcasing their work Rompiendo in a show for BIPOC artists presented by Crafted/ and Design Philly. Most recently, they have received the Art Works Grant from the Forman Arts Initiative and Philadelphia Foundation for 2021 and 2022. Hagudeza plans to expand upon their interdisciplinary artistic journey through film, projection mapping, installation art, and choreography.

About Linda Lee Alter Fellowship:

The Linda Lee Alter track supports queer artists, centering those who have historically lived within the margins, giving them a space at and with DVAA to explore connection, transformation and liberation.

This Fellowship track is named for Philadelphia artist, collector, and philanthropist; Linda Lee Alter. The selected artist/curator Fellow will present an exhibition or curatorial project that explores LGBTQ+ narratives. Artists/curators working in all mediums are invited to celebrate Philadelphia’s broad diversity of sexual and gender minorities through thoughtful, provocative and visionary visual arts presentations. The Linda Lee Alter Curatorial Fellow was offered in 2021, but continuation of this track may not be available in future years.
