March 27, 2023 – Milwaukee, WI – Lisa Caesar, the COO of Nō Studios announced today, CREATING MILWAUKEE, a mini-documentary series produced by Nō Studios and presented by The American Family Insurance Institute for Corporate and Social Impact. The series explores the stories of Milwaukee area creatives across various disciplines while highlighting their work and its connection to their communities.
The collaboration begins with a film featuring Milwaukee community artist and photographer, Jovanny Hernandez Caballero Caballero’s work explores themes of his cultural heritage and identity, as a first generation American and descendants of Mixtecs Through his photography, he documents the beauty of Milwaukee's South Side and his family's native land of Oaxaca, Mexico
Says Jovanny: "From the first steps of my ancestors in the mountains of Oaxaca, to my parent's first steps in the United States, my family represents who I am. My identity is a mixture of three worlds; the ancient, the modern, and the world my parents left behind in Mexico. I am unable to enter each world completely due to physical and emotional barriers. I can only see my family through the cracks of the fence, unable to grasp their hands. They have become like a photographic exposure; overexposed, blurry, and incomplete.”
"Milwaukee is rich with incredibly diverse local talent. We are very excited to partner with The American Family Insurance Institute for Corporate and Social Impact to bring more attention to these artists, and their unique work, to foster awareness, conversations and collaborations among the city’s many great creative communities," stated John Ridley, founder and CEO, Nō Studios

The series will launch on Friday, April 12th, 2023 at 11:45am with a live broadcast on WISN 12 News followed by a live streamed Q&A from the Nō Studios Gallery.
