Welcome.Hello.The San Diego Art Institute has a new exhibit called Millennial Pink. Tell us about it .This is a group show that celebrates the evolution of [ NULL ] aesthetics. I spoke to the curator and the executive director. She was saying that in the 1980s and 1990s when you received art by LGBTQ, it would be pain and tragedy . There was emotions over the AIDS crisis. Now, with millennial's embracing ideas of sexual fluidity, the images are shifting to more beautiful and celebratory. But where does the title Millennial Pink come from ?That is a super trending color.[ laughter ]It is a shade of rose quartz that is considered gender-neutral.What art will be there ?There will be photography and video and textiles. It is a group show. It is different interpretations about what they think it means.There are events tied to this exhibition ?You mentioned the danced party. That is one thing happening. There is a documented called we are core, how to pump a revolution. There will be a storytelling event.Millennial pink opens Saturday and runs through September 3rd in Balboa Park. Next, and not -- an outdoor concert at race, who was played there ?This is an acoustic guitar master.When you say acoustic guitar, do you mean flamenco guitar ?They are influenced by flamenco but also rock music and metal.
