The Blush Machine explores the circulation of racialized and gendered shame.

​

The installation consists of three rooms, where visitors are invited to reflect and carry out simple acts and gestures. In the first room, a large projection awaits the audience. In the second a video (3 mins) is shown for individual audience members. In the third room, visitors can leave their thoughts and feelings behind spraying them on a canvas where a face is projected. A collage of voices of Santa Cruzians accompanies the visitors in the third room.
