For Filipino American History Month, eight Filipino American-owned Artist Spaces from the Salo-Sala coast to coast network jointly present a virtual exhibition: Queering Pilipinx Aesthetics: Haw, Haw, the Queerabao! curated by O.M. France Viana.
How do Filipino Americans (Fil-Ams) queer Pilipinx aesthetics? How do they navigate the intersectionality and overlapping social identities of culture, race, gender, religion, and other systems that both liberate and oppress their self-expression? How do they disrupt binaries with cultural specificity? One whimsical yet profound answer to these questions is in the concept of the "Queerabao." View 35 amazing artists and 62 artworks in this virtual exhibition, broadcast from Oct. 1-31, 2024. Access the link from any of our sponsoring artist-owned spaces (warning: mature content) !
