Description
This is the second exhibition of the The 10th Annual Queer Latino Arts Festival.Narrating Identity (Dis)locating Bodies, is curated by Monica Enriquez-Enriquez and delves into the concept of diasporic identities through a multimedia installation of photography and video installation. Identity in this case will be looked at through narratives of both Latino and South Asian perspectives illustrating at times an overlap and cultural synthesis.Monica Enriquez-Enriquez’s mixed media community installation, Queering the Margins, creates a visual narrative of Queer Asylees and Queer Asylum Seekers. Through publicly displaying the bodies, voices and sexualities of her participants, Monica seeks to “queer” the margins created by a white, heterosexual, patriotic, and politically enfranchised male. Her video installation is comprised of a series of audio clips from eight participants projected onto three body-sized screens. Also included in the exhibition are photographs by Rebeka Rodriguez.
