Description
Join the Museum of Latin American Art for an engaging lecture by Ignacio Darnaude! Renowned Latin American artists, such as Frida Kahlo and Claudio Bravo, all the way to Chicanx artists like Carlos Almaraz and Joey Terrill, created astonishing queer imagery hiding in plain sight. Their coded images allowed them to express taboos and same-sex desires in a way that wasn’t punishable. Get ready to see their work and art history with completely new eyes. Wine and light refreshments served.
