Fusebox Festival presents Hannah Spector
Some Crumb of God🎬 30 min
This performance is about the Luling Watermelon Thump. It’s about “The Meanest Texas Town”. It’s about spitting watermelon seeds in 110 degrees. It’s about Hannah Spector’s family, who came from Mexico as migrant farmers. It’s about the Braceros Program. It’s about watching bodies writhe.
Spector will weave together live tape loops, synth, and multichannel video to tell of their fascination with the annual Luling Watermelon Thump.

Fusebox Festival presents Michael Anthony Garcia
You Are Here🎬 20 min
Interdisciplinary artist and independent curator Michael Anthony García collapses the boundary between making and curating, presenting a live, performative reading of ekphrastic poetry in direct conversation with the work of six painters. Staking claim to space, in times of instability and defining its parameters through the ether, García creates community and reminds us all that “You Are Here”.
