This video documents a conversation with Antar Kuri and León Muñoz Santini of Gato Negro Ediciones reflecting on the publication L.A. (SO) the Story Goes, recorded in January 2026. The discussion addresses the curatorial approach behind the anthology, the role of storytelling as an artistic method, and the process of pairing Los Angeles–based artists with international writers.
Published by Gato Negro Ediciones and curated by Prospect Art, L.A. (SO) the Story Goes is a 152-page anthology featuring fifteen Los Angeles–based artists working across installation, performance, video, and text. The book explores themes of identity, memory, and myth, examining how personal narratives evolve into shared cultural meaning while engaging issues of migration, trauma, and ecological crisis.
