2024-25 QM-Jerome Foundation Fellowship for Emerging Artists Recipient Abang-guard

February 13, 2024

The Queens Museum selected Abang-guard (Maureen Catbagan + Jevijoe Vitug) and Umber Majeed for the 2024-25 QM-Jerome Foundation Fellowship for Emerging Artists.

The QM-Jerome Foundation Fellowship for Emerging Artists in New York City grants two visual artists $20,000 each, individual studio space at the Queens Museum, professional development consultations, close mentorship from Queens Museum staff members, and a solo exhibition that will open in 2025.

On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the 1964-1965 New York World’s Fair, this year’s Open Call invited applications to respond to the complex history of the Queens Museum’s site and Flushing Meadows Corona Park. Applicants were encouraged to join the Museum in critically engaging with the present-day implications of the Fair, which idealized American democracy by promoting industrial, international, and domestic cooperation through technology and culture.

RU 2023 NYC-Based Artists-in-Residence

March 29, 2023

Thrilled and honored that my collab Abang-guard (with artist Jevijoe Vitug) is part of Residency Unlimited’s (RU) 2023 NYC-Based Artist Residents. Other artists that were selected include Tatiana Arocha, Miatta Kawinzi and Jodie Lyn-Kee-Chow.

The cohort was selected from an open call for artists who identify as Black, Indigenous and People of Color who have research-based practices that fill in gaps in historical knowledge. During the three month residencies from April 3 - June 30, 2023, Abang-guard will focus on the research and development of the history of Little Manilla in Woodside, Queens, and the intersections of immigration, labor, and visibility. We will be participating in a culminating group exhibition at PS122 Gallery in June.

The artists were selected from more than 180 applicants by a panel of three arts professionals: Elvira Clayton, Rachel Gugelberger, and Dario Mohr.
