Art Opening: Maria: Politics. Sex. Death. Men. (Mission Dist.)
| Thursday, June 5 | ||
| 7:30 pm |
The 10th Annual Queer Latino Arts Festival will consist of two consecutive visual arts exhibitions. The first exhibition, Maria: Politics. Sex. Death. Men. curated by Leonardo Herrera, explores the defense mechanisms and survival instincts of young Latino gay men through a psychedelic showcase of Magical Realism, sex and gay iconography. Through the use of candid photography, digital collage, costume, video installation and drawings, the artists delve into the assimilation of San Francisco’s Gay community brought on by both outside forces such as politics and the media, as well as from within the gay community itself.
The exhibition will include photography (digital, candid and fashion) by Keith Aguiar, Robert Guzman, Leonardo Herrera and Jody Jock, costumes by Money Shot, a text installation by Ernest Soprani as well as a multimedia installation by Jonathan Solo. Leonardo Herrera’s work is inspired by counterculture revolutions of the past and present and cultural trends.
