Monte Laster questions the roles of migration and displacement in the construction of identities and the formation of networks. His unique creative process, which brings individuals from diverse backgrounds into contact with one another, results in interactions that he captures in various ways. Whether they are installations, performances, photographs, or videos, Laster’s works are produced through a process of long-term collaboration.

 

For SOLUNA, Laster engages Dallas schools and other local organizations in the creation of a socially conscious project.
