160: All Monsters Are Human – A Digital Exhibition by Roland Becerra

In this special episode, painter, graphic novelist, and animated filmmaker Roland Becerra takes us on a guided tour of his most immersive, visually striking, and psychologically unsettling works: a hybrid painting-film set in Bridgeport, New Jersey, in which the witch is but a foil for the real antagonist; a series of paintings in which ghosts manifest as masked partygoers at a frenzied bacchanal; an animated film in which a mysterious flower spreads a plague that turns its victims into lotion-zombies; and more. Roland has exhibited paintings and digital images around the US, while his films have been screened worldwide, at such events as the YETI FilmFest in Iceland (2024), the Rock Horror Film Festival in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (2024), and the Sundance Festival in Park City, Utah (2009). He holds an MFA from Yale and currently teaches at the Boise State University School of Design and Visual Studies in Boise, Idaho.
