Outpost Artists Resources is a non-profit arts organization located in Ridgewood, Queens. We have been serving the arts community since 1990 providing access to video, sound services and new media assistance at well below market rates. In 2003, we began the Cuts and Burns Residency Program, which provides artists with free access to our facility including personal assistance by our staff of video editors, audio engineers, and computer programmers
Outpost Artists Resources supports new creative work through its residencies, and events – its mission is to serve artists in need of technical assistance with video, audio, and physical computing based art projects and to foster a dialogue between visual art and experimental music. Outpost hosts gallery exhibitions, artists talks, screenings and events that pair visual art, video, experimental music, and performance in an effort to bring adventurous audiences challenging interdisciplinary projects.
“Through Their Gazes/ A Través de sus Miradas”, curated by Jean Carla Rodea will screen August 6th at 8pm through the Outpost Vimeo channel. Click HERE to RSVP.
“Through Their Gazes/ A Través de sus Miradas” features film/video works by Luna Marán, Miriam Parker, and Laura Sofía Pérez. As a curator, I’m interested in sharing the independent and experimental work from these women through their own multiple gazes and experiences. Their works challenge hegemonic narratives while they also celebrate complex ideas of community in the Americas.

Laura Sofía Pérez is an interdisciplinary artist who works in video, film, sound, and installation. She received her MFA in Film/Video from California Institute of the Arts. Her work draws from feminist and avant-garde cinema, phenomenological philosophy, Caribbean Postcolonial theory, and ancestral knowledge. She often works in collaborative settings of experimentation and improvisation with artists of varying disciplines and backgrounds to voice common perspectives on political, cultural, and social issues. Recent artist residencies and programs include La Práctica at Beta-Local, San Juan, Puerto Rico (2019), BAiR Emerging at Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, Banff, Canada (2020), and the AfA Masterclass: Radical Care with Terike Haapoja (2020).
