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.
