¿Se Aculilló? / Groundhog Day (2018)

The 2nd installment of ¿SE ACULILLÓ? a multi-genre art series exploring themes of fear and the body, ¿SE ACULILLÓ? / GROUNDHOG DAY (at Trade Pop-Up in Providence, RI) uses Groundhog Day as a frame to further explore these themes.

Examples of fears associated with Groundhog Day could be fear of a long winter, fear of seasonal depression, fear of human-created climate change and its on-going disasters, fear of expectations, or fear of limited possibilities (the groundhog only has two options: it sees its shadow, or it doesn't).
