Espiritualidad

  • The Orpheum Community Hub 500 2nd Street Southwest Albuquerque, NM, 87102 United States (map)

The purpose of this show is to display what spirituality looks like when it comes into contact with the Mexican/Chicanx Queer identity when we start to divest from colonial secular values. The artists looks into what positive aspects can spirituality bring to Queer Mexicans/Chicanxs and how can it can become an outlet to healing. The combination of photographs and testimonios are meant to act as post-narratives that focus on positive aspects due to the relation of religion and Queerness being seen as negative. This show will also explore the general Mexican/Chicanx spiritual realm.

The Artist: Pico Del Hierro-Villa is a Fronterizx who is currently getting their MA in Chicanx studies at UNM. Their focus is mixing photography with testimonios that uplift Queer political/general struggles and queering cultural inconographies.
