June Exhibition | Amor es Amor - Celebrating LGBTQ in Chicanisma/o
Time & Location
About The Event
This is the June exhibition which runs from June 7 (First Friday) through the end of June, on display in addition to CHAC Gallery member artwork.
In coordination of the 50th anniversary of Stonewall and World Pride, we invite you to our June show "Amor es Amor: Celebrating the LGBTQ community within Chicanisma/o"
In a first-of-its-kind exhibition, CHAC is celebrating the LGBTQ within Chicanisma/o. At a time when many messages are focused on what separates us, Amor es Amor is a bold step in sharing what we have in common.
Without ignoring historical friction between the two communities, the exhibition acknowledges the many similar experiences endured by Chicana/o and LGBTQ people. Defined by a history where oppression and violence led to a lack of visibility, both celebrate their strength in community, self-reliance, and family; and capacity for love through vibrant visual art, writing, music and dance.
Everyone of all identifications are welcome!
