Paraisos
Curator: Rubén Esparza
Searching for community outside of the hetero-normative or predominant LGBT circle is a rite of passage, in a world that does not include Latinx and Queer People of Color in the larger cultural narrative.

An Article in
Interview
RIP
Interview magazine.
It was announced on May 21, 2018 that the publication folded and would cease printing by the end of 2018.
In June 2015, they published an article on Tom and the exhibition The Pleasure of Play by Rich Juzwiak.
"Tom's men were out, they weren't pathologized, and they were shameless in a time when it seemed impossible for most gay men to be that way."

Graeme Flegenheimer on
TOM House: The Work and Life of Tom of Finland
at MOCAD
An Article in
Glory Hole
There is no shortage of recognition for Tom of Finland. There are dedicated books about the artist, a slew of exhibitions and even consumer products in almost every permutation. So what is there left to say about Tom, one of the most influential and celebrated figures of 20th century gay culture?
Graeme Flegenheimer, the curator behind
TOM House: The Work and Life of Tom of Finland resolved this conundrum by levering the artist's rich creative and personal relationships to present a novel study of Tom, artist and man.

Add These 5 Queer Art Exhibits
to Your Itinerary Immediately
An Article in
Hornet
Art has been one of the primary ways queer people have been able to express ourselves in times when our very existence seems to be in danger. If people won't see us, we'll make ourselves seen - even if it is just to let others like us know we're not alone.
These five queer art exhibits currently on display celebrate the power of our community's creativity to help push society and culture forward.
