John Jota Leaños is a socially conscious media artist, originally from Pomona, California. Through the use of strategic revealing, tactical disruption, and symbolic wagon burning, Leaños’ work seduces viewers to penetrate the social barriers that surround personal identity, in order to explore difference as an unstable cultural construct. Leaños’ animation, installation, public art, and performance fuse traditional art practices and aesthetics with new technologies and contemporary interpretations. He is nationally acclaimed for earning various prestigious awards and for his many contributions to Latin American and Latin@ cultural studies.
