Exhibit opens May 6 through June 22, 2:00pm-7:00pm
Tues Fri; Sat
1:00pm-5:00pm Queer
Cultural Center (Qcc) and the
Asian Pacific Islander Cultural
Center (APICC) co-host a major exhibition
that asks: how do artists, as
individuals and as members of communities, spread
hope among the population during times of increasing
violence, political conflict and war? We believe
that
artists are capable of bringing about positive
social change by creating work
that addresses inequities, leads to the healing
of injustice and inspires
hope and a belief in a better future.
Qcc & APICC have collaborated
with over 20 arts organizations to curate
this exhibition.
³Live² installations
for the artists¹ reception include Frank
Pietronigro. Frank invites the audience to
participate in a
Œperformance¹ work that incorporates
negative signifiers that have been applied to
members of various communities throughout the
ages. To start the action, Frank stencils derogatory
words using salt (faggot, pansy). The audience
is
encouraged to collaborate by Œsalting down¹
derogatory words that they
have been called.
Ecstatic Monkey Literary Promotions
is a San Francisco-based
organization that helps writers and small presses
