“Adopting Performance: A Conversation with Benjamin Lundberg Torres Sánchez”

Newport Daily News
ARTS REVIEW: A new collage try at Jamestown Arts Center
By Alexander Castro, Contributing Writer (17 March 2019)

“The artist dripped his blood onto paint chips, but the sanguine and sensational quickly cede to the swatches’ racialized names. “Well-bred brown” and “suitable brown” are sequenced alongside lighter hues like “cotton white” and “casa blanca,” pointing to the racisms that can hide in taxonomy (artistic or otherwise).”

Unravel Scariness this October at “Se aculilló?”
By Bex Neuman-Hammond, Staff Writer (17 October 2017)

Perhaps you will sense the kind of “scared” that is learned through being, which is embodied in many of the works. By virtue of existing while Latinx/Latine (and black, brown, queer, indigenous…), you learn that other people are scary — and scared of you. The two fears are seen again and again in the exhibit, where doubling became an unintended but welcome theme.

Pittsburgh City Paper
#ColorPoll2017 examines the way we see color
By Alex Gordon, Digital Editor (13 September 2017)

It may not be obvious on the surface, but the process of naming colors inevitably reflects deeper ideas about culture and race. Even if we’re not aware of the name of a given paint, we’re still receiving subtle message from the thousands of colors we interact with daily. In asking us to put words to something as ethereal and nonverbal as color, Lundberg Torres Sanchez and Kinsel are challenging the public to address signals that otherwise go unnoticed.

Motif Magazine
LUNA LOBA: EL AZUFRE (Review)
By Motif Magazine Editor (8 Feb 2017)

The entire audience was willing him to never finish performing…He was allowed to do whatever he needed. He had given so much. The only manner in which to repay him for his truth was to accept his next steps thereafter. Then applaud them.
