In conjunction with Teddy Sandoval and the Butch Gardens School of Art, this talk brings exhibition curators C. Ondine Chavoya, John D. Murchison Regents Professor of Art in the Department of Art and Art History at the University of Texas, and David Evans Frantz, Executive Director of the Claire Falkenstein Foundation into conversation with Karen Jaime, performance theorist and Associate Professor of Performing and Media Arts at Cornell University. The panel will be moderated by Lee Sessions, Permanent Collections Associate Curator at El Museo del Barrio.
Connecting between the queer Chicane communities and cultural spaces of Los Angeles with histories of Latine life in New York, the conversation will explore how bars, clubs, streets, homes, and artistic networks become spaces for gathering and exchange. Together, the panelists will ask: What happens when queer people make space for one another, and what kinds of art, politics, relationships, and communities become possible?
The galleries will remain open for extended evening hours, giving visitors time to experience the exhibition before and after the conversation.A reception will follow the talk.
Co-presented by El Museo del Barrio and Independent Curators International.
