Capricho, is a project by artist Mark Menjivar that activates the archives of his late grandfather, Joe Font. Originally from Puerto Rico, Font photographed extensively for a period of over 30 years as he lived in various places in Latin America. One component of the project is a book of photographs taken by Font which has contextual text that was added by family and friends at his funeral. While the work in the gallery is primary, another component of the project is working with families in the community to attend to their own family archives to create meaningful projects.
