Muralist from Southwest Detroit Receives Prestigious Kresge Artist Fellowship

Elton Monroy Durán, the artist behind some of Southwest Detroit’s most popular murals was awarded the 2023 Kresge Artist Fellowship this summer. As one of Detroit’s most prestigious recognitions for artists, the fellowships consist of unrestricted monetary prizes of $25,000 each, as well as professional development opportunities to support mid-career artists in Metro Detroit.

Recipients were selected based on their artistic achievement and high-quality work, their potential to advance in their careers, and their positive impact on the local communities. Elton, a conceptual artist from Hidalgo, Mexico was selected as one of the fifteen 2023 Kresge Artist Fellows in the Visual Arts category.

More than a recognition of his talent, Elton sees this fellowship as a victory for the Latino community who has offered him endless support. Unlike other art awards that Elton has received, which typically fund a specific project, the Kresge Artist Fellowship acknowledges the merit of the artist’s overall career. “This is not an award tied to a specific painting or a mural, but it rather recognizes the person behind the artwork and their trajectory,” Elton explained.

His artistic career, as Elton sees it, would have not been possible without the support he received from the Hispanic community. This is precisely why he dedicated this prize to his community at the 2023 Kresge Arts in Detroit Award Celebration, which took place at the Eastern Market on July 19. “I feel blessed that I have been able to create my most important work with the support of my community here. I want to thank my Latino community, and my fellow Mexicans. They have been funding my career,” he said in his acceptance speech.

The gratitude Elton feels toward the Hispanic community, in particular the one in Southwest Detroit, is deeply personal. Like so many people in the neighborhood, Elton left his native Mexico and moved to Detroit pursuing a dream: he quit his engineering job to become an artist. When he initially came to the Motor City in 2014, he was willing to wash dishes to save up some money and eventually move to Germany. He did not anticipate that Southwest Detroit would embrace him and help him spread his wings. After Elton told one of his father’s friends about his dreams of pursuing art in Germany, he challenged Elton. “Why don’t you try here?” he asked. Elton did, and in Detroit he found a world of opportunities and a community that welcomed him with open arms.

Inspired by all the love and support he found, Elton became passionate about portraying the community he now calls home. Despite the prominence of Southwest Detroit’s Hispanic community, he noticed that the neighborhood lacked a visual identity. “I noticed that people felt invisible, unseen,” Elton recalls, “I wanted to create art inspired in and for the community.” This is how he came up with the idea of creating a series of murals to not only represent Detroit’s rich Hispanic legacy, but to also inspire respect for the community. Elton received a grant from the Knight Foundation that helped fund this project. Equally important, though, were the contributions of small business owners who provided matching funds. In fact, Elton’s subsequent work has mostly been financed by Hispanic business owners who, like him, migrated to Detroit to pursue their dreams. “These people value my work and are willing to fund it. They are not wealthy, and yet, they pay for it. There is no one else I could thank more.”

It was thanks to the support from other Latinos who believed in his passion that Elton became the kind of artist who can receive the prestigious Kresge Artist Fellowship. “This award was possible because of my community and they deserve this recognition. It is important to me that my community and the people who constantly support me feel like this award is also theirs,” Elton expressed. He is also grateful for the support he has received from fellow Hispanic artists and friends, in particular Kia ix Arriaga and Karilú Alarcón Forshee, both of whom are former recipients of the Kresge Artist Fellowship, and who accompanied Elton at the award ceremony. “When you move to another country, friends become your chosen family. They make you feel like you’re not alone.” Together, Kia, Karilú, and Elton are among the very few Latino artists to have ever received such recognition.

The Kresge Artist Fellowship has motivated Elton to continue creating art that serves a higher purpose. Elton has intentionally used his murals both to reassert the often unacknowledged contributions of the Latino community, and to denounce injustice.

His message has gained attention, including from the University of Michigan Department of Comparative Literature that has created a documentary and a virtual tour of Elton’s murals for its public humanities initiative Translating Michigan. Elton sees this project as a platform to amplify his message. “I’d like for my work to represent a historical moment for the Latino community in Detroit, and work with museums and enclosures dedicated to preserving art. With the Kresge Artist Fellowship, I finally have this opportunity to create art that transcends time and inspires respect towards our community.”

Although this award will open up many doors for Elton, he does not allow himself to forget about the people who helped him get here. He often describes his artistic work as “an act of love for the community.” In many ways, this phrase sums up Elton’s career, and reminds us that love begets love. It takes the affection and support of many, not only talent, to create art that transcends. Because art only endures when it enriches the lives of others. This is the kind of art that The Kresge Foundation seeks to support, art like Elton’s, and he does not take it for granted. “I would like the community to feel proud and to feel like we won something that matters. That this award is not just for me, but for all of us.”

Emmanuel Orozco Castellanos is from Jalisco, Mexico. As a translator and researcher, his work has centered on refugee and immigration advocacy, multilingual education, and international human rights. He is currently collaborating with Translating Michigan as a Program Assistant for the University of Michigan Department of Comparative Literature.

Muralista del Suroeste de Detroit Recibe la Prestigiosa Kresge Artist Fellowship

Elton Monroy Durán, el artista que está detrás de algunos de los murales más populares en el suroeste de Detroit, recibió la prestigiosa Kresge Artist Fellowship 2023 este verano. Este reconocimiento, uno de los más prestigiosos para los artistas en Detroit, consiste en un premio monetario de $25.000 dólares sin restricciones, así como oportunidades de desarrollo profesional para apoyar a artistas en el área metropolitana de Detroit que se encuentran a mitad de sus carreras.

Los galardonados fueron seleccionados en función de sus logros artísticos y su trabajo de alta calidad, su potencial para avanzar en sus carreras y su impacto positivo en las comunidades locales. Elton, artista conceptual de Hidalgo, México, fue seleccionado como uno de los quince 2023 Kresge Artist Fellows en la categoría de Artes Visuales.

 

Más que un mero reconocimiento a su talento, Elton ve este premio como una victoria para la comunidad latina que le ha ofrecido una infinidad de apoyo. A diferencia de otros premios de arte que Elton ha recibido, los cuales suelen financiar un proyecto específico, la Kresge Artist Fellowship reconoce el mérito en la trayectoria profesional del artista. “No es un premio vinculado a un cuadro o un mural en concreto, sino que reconoce a la persona que hay detrás de la obra y a su trayectoria”, explicó Elton.

Su carrera artística, tal y como Elton la ve, no habría sido posible sin el apoyo que recibió de la comunidad hispana. Precisamente por eso dedicó este premio a su comunidad en la ceremonia de premiación, la 2023 Kresge Arts in Detroit Award Celebration, que tuvo lugar en el Eastern Market el 19 de julio. “Me siento bendecido por haber podido crear mi trabajo más importante con el apoyo de mi comunidad aquí. Quiero dar las gracias a mi comunidad latina y a mis compatriotas mexicanos. Ellos han financiado mi carrera,” dijo en su discurso de aceptación del premio.

La gratitud que Elton siente hacia la comunidad hispana, en particular la del suroeste de Detroit, es profundamente personal. Como tanta gente en el vecindario, Elton dejó su México natal y se mudó a Detroit persiguiendo un sueño: dejó su trabajo de ingeniero para convertirse en artista. Cuando llegó inicialmente a Motor City en 2014, estaba dispuesto a lavar platos para ahorrar dinero y eventualmente mudarse a Alemania. No se esperaba que el suroeste de Detroit lo iba a acoger, y le ayudaría a cumplir sus sueños. Cuando Elton le contó a uno de los amigos de su papá sobre sus sueños de dedicarse al arte en Alemania, él retó a Elton. “¿Por qué no lo intentas aquí?”, le preguntó. Elton lo intentó, y en Detroit encontró un mundo de oportunidades y una comunidad que le acogió con los brazos abiertos.

Inspirado por todo el amor y el apoyo que encontró, Elton se dedicó a retratar a la comunidad a la que ahora llama hogar. A pesar de la importancia de la comunidad hispana del suroeste de Detroit, se dio cuenta de que carecía de una identidad visual. “Me di cuenta de que la gente se sentía invisible, como si no existieran”, recuerda Elton. “Quería crear arte inspirado en y para la comunidad”. Así es como surgió la idea de crear una serie de murales que no sólo representen el gran legado hispano de Detroit, sino que también inspiren respeto hacia la comunidad. Elton recibió fondos de la Knight Foundation que lo ayudaron a financiar este proyecto. Pero igual de importantes fueron las contribuciones de los dueños de negocios locales que también aportaron fondos para los murales. De hecho, el trabajo posterior de Elton ha sido financiado en su mayoría por empresarios hispanos que, como él, emigraron a Detroit para perseguir sus sueños. “Esta gente valora mi trabajo y está dispuesta a financiarlo. No son ricos y, sin embargo, lo pagan. No hay nadie a quien pueda agradecerle más”.

Gracias al apoyo de otros latinos que creyeron en sus sueños, Elton se convirtió en el tipo de artista que califica para un prestigioso premio como la Kresge Artist Fellowship. “Este premio ha sido posible gracias a mi comunidad y ellos se merecen este reconocimiento. Es importante para mí que mi comunidad y las personas que me apoyan constantemente sientan que este premio también es suyo,” expresó Elton. Él también agradece el apoyo que ha recibido de otras artistas hispanas y amigas, en particular de Kia ix Arriaga y Karilú Alarcón Forshee, ambas ganadoras del Kresge Artist Fellowship, y quienes acompañaron a Elton en la ceremonia de entrega. “Cuando te vas a vivir a otro país, los amigos se convierten en tu familia. Te hacen sentir que no estás solo”. Juntos, Kia, Karilú y Elton son de los pocos artistas latinos que han recibido tal reconocimiento.

El premio Kresge Artist Fellowship ha motivado a Elton a seguir creando arte con propósito. Elton usa intencionadamente sus murales para reafirmar las contribuciones de la comunidad latina, que a veces no son reconocidas, y también para denunciar la injusticia social.

Su mensaje ha llamado la atención, entre otros, del Departamento de Literatura Comparativa de la Universidad de Michigan, que ha creado un cortometraje y un tour virtual de los murales de Elton para su iniciativa de humanidades públicas Translating Michigan. Elton ve este proyecto como una plataforma para amplificar su mensaje: “Me gustaría que mi obra represente un momento histórico para la comunidad latina en Detroit, y trabajar con museos y recintos dedicados a preservar el arte.” Con la Kresge Artist Fellowship, por fin tengo esta oportunidad de crear arte que trascienda el tiempo e inspire respeto hacia nuestra comunidad.”

A pesar de que este premio le abrirá muchas puertas, Elton no se permite olvidar a la gente que lo ayudó a llegar tan lejos. A menudo describe su trabajo artístico como “un acto de amor para la comunidad”. De muchas maneras, esta frase resume la carrera de Elton, y nos recuerda que el amor siempre se multiplica. Se requiere el afecto y el apoyo de muchas personas, no sólo talento, para crear arte que trascienda. Porque el arte sólo perdura cuando enriquece las vidas de los demás. Este es el tipo de arte que The Kresge Foundation apoya, arte como el de Elton, y él no lo da por sentado. “Me gustaría que la comunidad se sienta orgullosa, y que sienta que ganamos algo importante. Que este premio no es sólo para mí, sino para todos nosotros.”
