Jeremy Keith Villaluz is an artist currently working on themes of migration and landscape through contemporary art and photography. An experienced educator, having taught courses at San Francisco State University and Skyline College, his most recent body of work deals with the paradox of immigrant imaginaries amidst suburban development and resegregation.

Enclave deals with his hometown of Daly City—a suburban town neighboring San Francisco that is also home to one of the densest populations of Filipinos outside of the Philippines. With the rapid socioeconomic and infrastructural shift the San Francisco Bay Area is experiencing, Enclave places Villaluz’ experiences in this established immigrant community at center and investigates the slippage of the socio-political legacies, relentless gentrification, and intergenerational families experiencing multiple notions of time, delay, and success.

The book features introductions by Benito Vergara Jr. and Yinshi Lerman-Tan.
